Abstract
In this paper, we demonstrate the formation of confinement potentials in suspended nanostructures induced by the geometry of the devices. We then propose a set-up to measure the resulting geometric-phase change in electronic wave functions in these mechanical nanostructures. The device consists of a suspended loop through which a phase-coherent current is driven. A combination of two and more geometrically induced potentials can be applied for creating mechanical-quantum-bit states.
