Quantum dots are often referred to as “artificial atoms” as they create zero-dimensional traps for electrons, with characteristic atom-like spectra. Leon et al. demonstrate that higher shell and orbital states of a multi-electron silicon quantum dot with better control fidelity than single electron dots.
