    Abstract: A device for storing and/or transferring quantum data. The device has a plurality of elongate semiconductor structures arranged in side by said with each elongate semiconductor structure having a quantum well layer of one semiconductor material disposed between upper and lower layers of a different semiconductor material which share the same or essentially the same crystalline structure as that of the quantum well layer. Neighboring ones of the elongate semiconductor structures share a region forming a constriction between the neighboring ones of the elongate semiconductor structures. Also disclosed is a a method of adjusting exchange coupling between laterally coupled quantum wells in a quantum device having sidewalls, the method including: defining the sidewalls by etching a crystalline structure along lattice planes of said crystalline structure, the crystalline structure, after the sidewalls are etched, having a corrugated shaped with protuberances and grooves on opposing major surfaces thereof, and controlling a ratio of the distances (i) between opposing grooves on the opposing major surfaces of the crystalline structure and (ii) between opposing protuberances on the opposing major surfaces of the crystalline structure.
