1.1 Introduction

In his 1959 famous lecture "Plenty of Room at the Bottom" [19], Richard Feynman considered the possibility of manipulating and controlling things at microscopic scales in the near future. Now his prediction has become reality with system assembly at the nanoscale level. When such systems are at a sufficiently low temperature, quantum effects will appear. From a cybernetical ...
