Bidirectional manipulation of gate-free quantum electronic states via semiconductor interface engineering

A recent study published in Nature Communications demonstrates precise control over electron spatial arrangement in two directions simultaneously—without any applied voltage—through interface engineering between semimetal bismuth (Bi) thin films and two-dimensional semiconductor MoS₂.
This research builds on advancements in quantum materials and semiconductor science, leveraging sophisticated material engineering techniques now available.
Precise, gate-free control of quantum electronic states could lead to revolutionary advancements in quantum computing, sensing, and low-power electronics.
The ability to manipulate electron spatial arrangement without external voltage simplifies device design and opens pathways to entirely new quantum device architectures.
