Quantum-classic detection interface device
Novel and useful quantum structures having a continuous well with control gates that control a local depletion region to form quantum dots. Local depleted well tunneling is used to control quantum operations to implement quantum computing circuits. Qubits are realized by modulating gate potential to control tunneling through local depleted region between two or more sections of the well. Complex structures with a higher number of qdots per continuous well and a larger number of wells are fabricated. Both planar and 3D FinFET semiconductor processes are used to build well to gate and well to well tunneling quantum structures. Combining a number of elementary quantum structure, a quantum computing machine is realized. An interface device provides an interface between classic circuitry and quantum circuitry by permitting tunneling of a single quantum particle from the classic side to the quantum side of the device. Detection interface devices detect the presence or absence of a particle destructively or nondestructively.

CONTROL DEVICE, SWITCHING CONVERTER AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AN OUTPUT VARIABLE
A digital closed loop control system. An output signal is detected with the aid of an analog-to-digital converter. A correction value is subtracted from the output signal prior to the analog-to-digital conversion and this correction value is added up again after the analog-to-digital conversion. The correction value in this case may be dynamically adapted. In this way, the analog-to-digital converter may be operated in a narrow conversion range.
