We present the experimental characterization of a leadless (floating) double-dot system and quantum-dot cellular automata cell, where aluminum metal islands are connected to environment only by capacitors. Here, single electron charge transfer can be accomplished exchange an between dots. The state dots is monitored using configured as electrometers. show improvements in cell performance relative leaded dots, discuss possible implications our design logic implementation.
