In this topical review, we report on recent advances on the coupling of single semiconductor
quantum emitters, quantum dots, to the dynamic strain and electric fields of surface acoustic …

For many applications of semiconductor quantum dots in quantum technology, well-
controlled state preparation of the quantum dot states is mandatory. Since quantum dots are …

Pulsed resonant fluorescence is used to probe ultrafast phonon-assisted exciton and
biexciton preparation in individual self-assembled InGaAs quantum dots. By driving the …

We study the interaction of laser pulses carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) with
structural asymmetry quantum-dot molecules characterized by four energy levels. We …

We apply our recently developed theory of frequency-filtered and time-resolved N-photon
correlations (del Valle et al 2012 Phys. Rev. Lett. 109 183601) to study the two-photon …

GaAs-Al x Ga1–x As (AlGaAs) core–shell nanowires show great promise for nanoscale
electronic and optoelectronic devices, but the application of these nonplanar …

We probe and control the optical properties of emission centers forming in radial
heterostructure GaAs-Al0. 3Ga0. 7As nanowires and show that these emitters, located in …

We theoretically explore optical bistability/multistability and transmission spectrum in a
hybrid optomechanical system consisting of quantum dot molecules in a semiconductor …

The creation, transfer, and stabilization of localized excitations are studied in a donor–
acceptor Frenkel exciton model in an atomistic treatment of reduced-size double quantum …

Strain-free epitaxial quantum dots (QDs) are fabricated by a combination of Al local droplet
etching (LDE) of nanoholes in AlGaAs surfaces and subsequent hole filling with GaAs. The …
