What is it about?
We used a microscope consisting of a sub-micron metallic tip to detect single electron charge transitions in a nanoscale device. The microscope tip can be scanned across a complex device, potentially allowing rapid screening of semiconductor quantum devices. The paper examines a specific radio frequency mode of charge detection.

Why is it important?
We demonstrated single charge detection with a bandwidth and sensitivity comparable to state-of-the-art results using an agile scanning gate microscope.
Perspectives
I am excited for my group members who pulled off a very complicated experiment with a custom-made milli-Kelvin temperature scanning gate microscope. The measurement performance is exceptional and the measurement approach paves the way for future experiments in mesoscopic physics.
