quantum cell

(electronics, computing)(Or "quantum dot cell") A structurecomprising four quantum dots arranged in a square, with twodiagonally opposed dots containing electron charges. Onediagonal containing charges is arbitrarily defined asrepresenting a value of '1', the other as '0'. In a five-dotcell, the fifth, central dot contains no charge.
