We report on Rabi oscillations of the biexciton in a single ${\mathrm{In}}_{x}{\mathrm{Ga}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}\mathrm{As}∕\mathrm{Ga}\mathrm{As}$ quantum dot, induced via coherent two-photon process. In contrast to single-exciton measured population oscillation is not purely sinusoidal excitation pulse area. The experimental results are well reproduced by theoretical calculation that relies only shape and binding energy. Dephasing times similar those exciton under applied measurement...
Optically controlled coherent dynamics of charge (excitonic) degrees freedom in a semiconductor quantum dot under the influence lattice (phonons) is discussed theoretically. We show that response strongly nonlinear regime governed by semiclassical resonance between phonon modes and optically driven dynamics. stress on importance stability intermediate states for truly control.
We study the effect of pure dephasing on entanglement a pair two-level subsystems (qubits). show that partial induced by super-Ohmic reservoir, corresponding to well-established properties confined charge states and phonons in semiconductors, may lead complete disentanglement. also disentanglement increases with growing distance between two subsystems.
We study the long-time dynamics and stationary nonequilibrium state of an optically driven quantum dot coupled to acoustic phonons using numerically exact real-time path integrals a fourth-order correlation expansion. By exploring wide ranges temperatures, carrier-phonon carrier-light coupling strengths, we characterize compare solution known, approximatively derived results. It is found that analytical calculations tend overestimate influence coupling, particularly at low temperatures in...
The role of phonons for adiabatic rapid passage in semiconductor quantum dots is studied theoretically. While an ideal system results a full inversion the dot occupation, hamper this behavior drastically. We show that transitions between states lead to temperature-dependent decrease final exciton occupation. In contrast evolution, phonon-related perturbation induces dependencies on pulse power and sign chirp.
Wave mixing is an archetypical phenomenon in bosonic systems. In optomechanics, the bi-directional conversion between electromagnetic waves or photons at optical frequencies and elastic phonons radio building on precisely this fundamental principle. Surface acoustic provide a versatile interconnect chip and, thus, enable optomechanical control of remote Here, we report coherent nonlinear three-wave fields two frequency surface laser via dipole transition single quantum dot exciton. resolved...
We present a quantum-kinetic theory of the excitation transfer in quantum dot molecule. derive consistent Markovian limit for system kinetics, which leads to description terms single rate weak coupling. show that is strongly varying, nonmonotonic function spatial separation and energy mismatch between dots.
We study the phonon influence on spin of an exciton confined in a quantum dot. A process causing transition initial bright heavy hole state to dark states is identified. For set parameters typical for $\mathrm{InAs}∕\mathrm{GaAs}$ self-assembled dots corresponding decay times are over two orders magnitude faster than previously studied between and comparable lifetimes already at temperatures several tens Kelvins.

Using approximate model based $\mathbit{k}\ifmmode\cdot\else\textperiodcentered\fi{}\mathbit{p}$ theory, we are able to relate this amount light-hole...
Laser-written optical waveguides in diamonds are a key technology to enhance coupling between defect centers and light, boosting applications nanoscale sensing quantum information processing. However, laser writing of photonic structures produces strain the diamond lattice, modifying properties poorly understood ways. This study demonstrates that optically detected magnetic resonance spectroscopy provides sufficient fully characterize spatial distribution such device, even without constant...
We study the phonon-induced dephasing of exciton state in a quantum dot excited by sequence ultrashort pulses. show that multiple-pulse control leads to considerable improvement coherence optically state. For fixed time window, optimized pulsed often higher degree than smooth, single Gaussian pulse. The reduction is already for 2--3
We study reliable quantum-information processing (QIP) under two different types of environment. The first type is Markovian exponential decay, and the appropriate elementary strategy protection qubit to apply fast gates. second one strongly non-Markovian occurs solely during operations on qubit. best then work with slow If are both present, has optimize speed gate. show that such a trade-off present for single-qubit operation in semiconductor quantum dot implementation QIP, where...

Our modeling is based eight-band $\mathbit{k}\ifmmode\cdot\else\textperiodcentered\fi{}\mathbit{p}$ method. coupling $s$ state from one dot with $p$ and $d$ other induced absence axial symmetry. findings indicate that this can produce strong energy splitting at resonance (on order...
We propose a quantum-state transfer protocol in spin chain that requires only the control of spins at ends quantum wire. The is to large extent insensitive inhomogeneity caused by local magnetic fields and perturbation exchange couplings. Moreover, apart from free evolution regime, it allows one induce an adiabatic transfer, which provides possibility performing on demand. also show amount information leaking into central part small throughout whole process (which protects sent being...
Single-photon emitters in solid-state systems are important building blocks for scalable quantum technologies. Recently, light have been discovered the wide-gap van der Waals insulator hexagonal boron nitride (hBN). These color centers attracted considerable attention due to their performance at elevated temperatures and wide range of transition energies. Here, we demonstrate coherent state manipulation a single hBN center with ultrafast laser pulses investigate our joint experiment–theory...
