We describe two distinct applications of quantum dots [1-3] from a quantum transport perspective. In the first part, we bring in a Bayesian viewpoint to the analysis of clocks, specifically taking the Salecker Wigner clock formulation [4] and explore a novel set up to estimate the tunneling time [1] between electrons in a contact and a quantum dot weakly coupled to it. Using the exponential tunneling distribution as priors for clocks, we analyze the case of a single precessing spin in a quantum dot.

Abstract: A lot of different concepts and possibilities have been discussed. The final session will recap those and put them in perspective, with emphasis on the relevance to a "typical" university start up and the people involved.

Abstract: Software is a key asset of any new business. How do you protect the results of weeks or months of hard labour? Who owns the software and how do I mange its development to ensure its inherent value is maintained? Should I use Open Source, or even contribute to Open Source? What are the benefits and how does this measure up against the risks?
