(Or "quAntum dot cell") A structure comprising four quAntum dots arranged in a square, with two diagonally opposed dots containing electron charges. One diagonal containing charges is arbitrarily defined as representing a value of ' 1' , the other as ' 0' . In a five-dot cell, the fifth, central dot contains no charge.
