quantum dot
     
         (Or "single-electron transistor") A location capable
        of containing a single electrical charge; i.e., a single
        electron of {Coulomb} charge.  Physically, quantum dots are
        nanometer-size {semiconductor} structures in which the
        presence or absence of a quantum electron can be used to store
        information.
     
        See also: {quantum cell}, {quantum cell wire}, {quantum-dot
        cellular automata}.
