QUANTUM HALL EFFECT: THE FUNDAMENTALS

Journal Title: Metrology and Measurement Systems - Year 2006, Vol 13, Issue 2

Abstract

The basic understanding of the physics behind and the reasons for very high precision of the resistivity ρxy quantisation in integer quantum Hall effect (IQHE) and the application of the effect in metrology to define a quantum resistance standard will be briefly discussed. We also mention some recent proposals concerning the application of the quantum Hall device as an efficient qubit for future quantum computers and end up with few remarks about the contribution of single electron devices to the realisation of standards and quantum metrology which seeks the ways to beat the accuracy of classic measurements.
