Abstract: A quantum dot structure having a split-gate geometry is provided. The quantum dot is configured for incorporation into a quantum dot array of a quantum processing unit. A gap between a reservoir accumulation gate and a quantum dot accumulation gate provides a tunnel barrier between an electric charge reservoir and a quantum dot well. An electrical potential applied to the gates defines a tunnel barrier height, width and charge tunneling rate between the well and the reservoir without relying on any barrier gate to control the charge tunneling rate.

Abstract: A process for creating cold emulsions for cosmetic use involves creating a gel component by exfoliating silicate compounds with catalysts and organic materials under pressure and mixing the resulting components with water, mixing an oil phase with additional powdered components as desired, and mixing the gel component with the oil phase in a high shear mixer until a Pickering emulsion is created. The resulting emulsion is simple to manufacture, stable for long periods of time, and has a desirable texture for cosmetic use.
