What is it about?
It reviews recent progresses on the quantum size effects in nanocorrals, including quantum guided diffusion and self-assembly, statistic fluctuation control, Kondo effect tuning and building atomic logics etc. It also shows the outlook for future directions.

Why is it important?
Fundamentally, quantum size effects are the most fundamental effects in quantum physics. There are many aspects of quantum size effects. Here we list some of them and expect many more to be explored. From the application point of view, with the size reduction of devices, the quantum size effects may have strong effect on the performence of the devices and provide alternating route for the design of future devices. Here, we show some basic logic gates can be bulit via the quantum size effects.
Perspectives
It is a lot of fun to work on this topic, especially there are so many unexpected effects to be explored and the very fundamental effect can be used to constract the logic devices.
