19. Note that a SET just uses Coulomb blockade as the mechanism for switching but does not use it to control the number of electrons which pass through (one at a time) when the SET is on. Hence, they do not permit the single-electron representation.

37. In fairness it should be said that, if accuracy is paramount as it is in metrological applications, a long screening length is desirable because it reduces cotunneling errors. Of course long screening lengths are also necessary if one wishes to study collective behavior.

Hasslacher, and Y. Pomeau, Phys. Rev. Lett. 56, 1505 (1986), and it is presumed that a Coulomb-blockade network for simulating this improved lattice gas can also be constructed.
