A quantum well is a potential well with only discrete energy values. One technology to create is to confine particles, which were originally free to move in three , to two dimensions, forcing them to occupy a planar region. The effects of quantum confinement take place when the quantum well thickness becomes comparable to the de Broglie wavelength...
