This lecture covers the physics of quantum dots, small semiconducting islands where electrons are confined in discrete energy levels, behaving like 'artificial atoms'. It discusses the energy scales, thermal effects, and examples of quantum dots. The lecture also explores the use of microwaves in spin qubits in quantum dots, including basic concepts, measurement techniques, qubit approaches, and current trends.
