I will describe the work my group has been doing at Waterloo. We are developing a high bandwidth rf-QPC readout to study lateral quantum dot devices. We have also studied the effect of dissipation on a sSET. Another project is aimed at setting up a CPW readout with a DC bias.

"Atom chips" allow the manipulation of ultra-cold laser cooled atoms using micro fabricated wire structures. Current carrying wires on the chip surface generate inhomogeneous magnetic fields, allowing cold atoms to be held by the same forces as those in the famous Stern-Gerlach experiment. By varying the wire currents atoms can be squeezed into small volumes, and put at specific distances relative to surfaces.
