Description

Quantum dynamical modeling of an electron to be shuttled, governed by the electric potential generated by the clavier (and other) gates in a Silicon QuBus device. Spin and valley states as well as the respective interactions are neglected. Moreover, the current model is limited to the coherent wave packet evolution and disregards the effects of noise and dissipation.
