The two electrons in a quantum-dot Si4 ion can be pinned in place (blue and pink) by judicious position of external charges (green circles).The quantum dot is produced by removing a hydrogen atom bonded to an Si2 molecule leaving an ion with an extra election shared between the two atoms that acts like a quantum dot. The result was discovered by a team at the University of Alberta, led by Robert A. Wolkow..
