(PhysOrg.com) -- “More than fifteen years ago, efforts were made to come to some kind of practical and standard realization of single-electron sources of quantized current. However, it was too difficult to combine the wanted magnitude of current with its accuracy,” Dmitri Averin tells PhysOrg.com. “The higher the current, the lower the accuracy.”
