The Physics Behind Quantum Dots
Shital Rijal
The discussion below leans into technical language and uses terms commonly established in quantum mechanics and semiconductor physics.
Quantum dots are one of the clearest real-world examples of quantum mechanics at work. What if you could tune a material’s color just by changing its size? That’s the core idea behind quantum dots. Quantum dots are semiconductor nanocrystals typically a few nanometers in size, whose optical and electronic properties are governed by quantum confinement.
