CMOS Quantum Computing: Toward A Quantum Computer System-on-Chip
Quantum computing is experiencing the transition from a scientific to an
engineering field with the promise to revolutionize an extensive range of
applications demanding high-performance computing. Many implementation
approaches have been pursued for quantum computing systems, where currently the
main streams can be identified based on superconducting, photonic, trapped-ion,
and semiconductor qubits. Semiconductor-based quantum computing, specifically
using CMOS technologies, is promising as it provides potential for the
integration of qubits with their control and readout circuits on a single chip.
This paves the way for the realization of a large-scale quantum computing
system for solving practical problems. In this paper, we present an overview
and future perspective of CMOS quantum computing, exploring developed
semiconductor qubit structures, quantum gates, as well as control and readout
circuits, with a focus on the promises and challenges of CMOS implementation
Circuit modeling of a MEMS varactor including dielectric charging dynamics
Electrical models for MEMS varactors including the effect of dielectric charging dynamics are not available in commercial circuit simulators. In this paper a circuit model using lumped ideal elements available in the Cadence libraries and a basic Verilog-A model, has been implemented. The model has been used to simulate the dielectric charging in function of time and its effects over the MEMS capacitance value.Peer ReviewedPostprint (published version
Investigation of metal ions sorption of brown peat moss powder
For regularities research of sorptive extraction of heavy metal ions by cellulose and its derivates from aquatic solution of electrolytes it is necessary to find possible mechanism of sorption process and to choice a model describing this process. The present article investigates the regularities of aliovalent metals sorption on brown peat moss powder. The results show that sorption isotherm of Al3+ ions is described by Freundlich isotherm and sorption isotherms of Na+ и Ni2+ are described by Langmuir isotherm. To identify the mechanisms of brown peat moss powder sorption the IR-spectra of the initial brown peat moss powder samples and brown peat moss powder samples after Ni (II) sorption were studied. Metal ion binding mechanisms by brown peat moss powder points to ion exchange, physical adsorption, and complex formation with hydroxyl and carboxyl groups

Since these devices will be used as resonators in applications based on Pulsed Digital Oscillators, we analyze, both with simulations and measurements, the mechanical vibration modes that can be excited and detected. We also introduce a specific version of PDO for piezoelectric MEMS.Peer ReviewedPostprint (author's final draft
