Abstract
Surface supported quantum wells with a confined surface state capture and stably confine neutral atoms and molecules in a nanometer precise environment. Depending on the physico-chemical conditions in the capturing process, the degree of occupancy, the temperature of the solid substrate, and/or the history of external stimuli like electromagnetic field pulses, these atoms, molecules or clusters assume unique configurations. The atoms or molecules are able to remain coupled to the quantum-well specific electronic state in the confinement and as such exhibit local and delocalized quantum entanglement. The capturing potential arises from the superposition of Pauli repulsion between the captured object and the quantum well-specific confined electronic state. This occurs within on-surface atomic or supramolecular assemblies or surface supported coordination or covalent networks.
