최근 양자컴퓨터의 개발과 더불어 양자역학의 특성을 응용한 양자기반 탐색기법의 개발과 공학 문제에의 적용은 매우 흥미로운 연구주제 중 하나로 부각되고 있다. 이 알고리즘은 기본적으로 0과 1이 중첩되어진 양자비트를 이용하여 정보가 저장되고, 양자게이트 연산을 통해 해에 접근하게 된다. 이 과정에서 알고리즘은 탐사와 개척 두 가지 탐색 특성간의 균형이 자연스럽게 유지되며, 진화정보가 계속 누적된다는 장점으로 기존의 탐색법과 차별되어 새로운 알고리즘으로 평가되었다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 양자기반 진화알고리즘을 평면 트러스의 구조최적화에 적용하여 최소중량설계 기법을 제안하였다. 최적화 수리모형에서 비용함수는 최소중량이며, 제약함수는 변위와 응력에 관한 함수로 구성하였다. 진화정보의 누적과 수렴 과정을 알아보기 위해서 10부재 평면 트러스와 17부재 평면트러스 예제를 수치예제로 채택하여 결과를 분석하였다. 수치예제의 구조최적설계 결과에서 볼 때, 기존의 고전적 탐색기법의 연구결과와 비교해서 더 나은 최소중량 설계의 결과를 얻을 수 있었으며, 진화정보의 누적된 결과로 해의 정밀도를 관찰할 수 있었다. 또한 누적된 진화정보인 양자비트의 확률적 표현은 종료시점을 쉽게 판단할 수 있다.

비등상성 반도체 양자우물에서의 자유전자 흡수에 의한 광자의 흡수계수를 모델링하였다. Intravalley scattering과 interalley scattering에 의한 자유전자 흡수가 모두 고려되었고 양자우물내의 각각의 부밴드가 광자의 흡수에 기여하는 정도도 따로 계산되었다. 또한 이 모델의 타당성을 검증하기 위해, Si에 $\delta$-도핑을 이용하여 형성한 얀자우물에 대하여 시물레이션을 수행하고 문헌의 실현결과와 비교하여 그 적절성을 보였다.

We present the effects of rapid thermal annealing (RTA) temperature on the structural and optical properties of self-assembled InAs quantum dot (QD) structures grown on GaAs substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The photoluminescence (PL) measurements are performed in a closed-cycle refrigerator as a function of temperature for the unannealed and annealed samples. RTA at higher temperature results in the increase in island size, the corresponding decrease in the density of islands, and the redshift in the PL emission from the islands. The temperature dependence of the PL peak energy for the InAs QDs is well expressed by the Varshni equation. The thermal quenching activation energies for the samples unannealed and annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ are found to be $25{\pm}5meV$ and $47{\pm}5$ meV, respectively.

Colloidal quantum dot (CQD) solar cells have attracted great attention due to their cost-effectiveness and solution-processability, as well as their size-dependent optical and electrical properties. The power conversion efficiency of CQD solar cells has rapidly increased up to ~8.6%, which corresponds to the 3 - 4 fold improvement during the last 3 - 4 years. Up to now, there have been many pioneering results in CQD solar cells. Here, we review the recent progress of CQD solar cells including CQD synthesis strategy and device structure engineering.

We determine the reduced mass of heavy-hole exciton and the heavy-hole in-plane mass for a series of (In, Ga)As/GaAs strained layer quantum wells using the magnetolu-minescence measurements of the exciton ground state and the modified perturbation approach. In the theoretical calculation of the magnetoexciton ground state, the exciton reduced mass is considered as an adjustable parameter, and two variation parameters are used in the unperturbed wave function which is expressed in terms of subband wave functions in the growth axis and the product of two-dimensional hydrogen and oscillator like wave functions for the in-plane component. We take into account the energy dependence of transverse and in-plane electron masses in the twoband effective mass approximation. The electron effective mass decreases as either quantum-well width or indium composition increases, and so does the heavy-hole in-plane mass down to the value at the decoupling limit ($m_{hh,\;{\rho}}=0.11m_0$).

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) is rapidly developing as a stable and reliable quantum-resistant form of cryptography, throughout the industry. Similarly to existing cryptography, however, it does not prevent a third-party from using the secret key when third party obtains the secret key by deception, unauthorized sharing, or unauthorized proxying. The most effective alternative to preventing such illegal use is the utilization of biometrics during the generation of the secret key. In this paper, we propose a biometric-based secret key generation scheme for multivariate quadratic signature schemes, such as Rainbow. This prevents the secret key from being used by an unauthorized third party through biometric recognition. It also generates a shorter secret key by applying Principal Component Analysis (PCA)-based Confidence Interval Analysis (CIA) as a feature extraction method. This scheme's optimized implementation performed well at high speeds.

The coherence properties of electromagnetic fields are reviewed, based on both the classical and quantum theories. The elementary concepts, employed frequently in the discussion of interference phenomena, are summarized. The well-known interference phenomena are described in terms of second-order coherences. The coherence theory in space-frequency domain is introduced and the coherent mode representation is presented. The generation and propagation of coherence of light are analysed and it is shown that the coherence of light is developed as light propagates. The quantum theory goes parallel with the classical theory, via the optical equivalence theorem. There are, however, certain nonclassical characteristics of light, which may not be easily understood in classical therms. These nonclassical phenomena are believed to originate from the particle aspects of light. The quantum effect on the interfernce phenomena is analysed and finally the outlook of the future research is briefly mentioned.

Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) is an alternative complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology that is used to implement high-speed logical circuits at the atomic or molecular scale. In this study, an optimal 2-to-4 decoder in QCA is presented. The proposed QCA decoder is designed using a new formulation based on the MV32 gate. Notably, the MV32 gate has three inputs and two outputs, which is equivalent two 3-input majority gates, and operates based on cellular interactions. A multilayer design is suggested for the proposed decoder. Subsequently, a new and efficient 3-to-8 QCA decoder architecture is presented using the proposed 2-to-4 QCA decoder. The simulation results of the QCADesigner 2.0.3 software show that the proposed decoders perform well. Comparisons show that the proposed 2-to-4 QCA decoder is superior to the previously proposed ones in terms of cell count, occupied area, and delay.

A new paradigm of crystal growth was suggested in a charged cluster model, where charged clusters of nanometer size are suspended in the gas phase in most thin film processes and are a major flux for thin film growth. The existence of these hypothetical clusters was experimentally confirmed in the diamond and silicon CVD processes as well as in gold and tungsten evaporation. These results imply new insights as to the low pressure diamond synthesis without hydrogen, epitaxial growth, selective deposition and fabrication of quantum dots, nanometer-sized powders and nanowires or nanotubes. Based on this concept, we produced such quantum dot structures of carbon, silicon, gold and tungsten. Charged clusters land preferably on conducting substrates over on insulating substrates, resulting in selective deposition. if the behavior of selective deposition is properly controlled, charged clusters can make highly anisotropic growth, leading to nanowires or nanotubes.
