Quantum cell

<electronics, computing> (Or "quantum dot cell") A structure comprising four quantum dots arranged in a square, with two diagonally opposed dots containing electron charges.

One diagonal containing charges is arbitrarily defined as representing a value of '1', the other as '0'.

In a five-dot cell, the fifth, central dot contains no charge.

See also: quantum cell wire, quantum-dot cellular automata.
