We report coherent optical control of a biexciton (two electron-hole pairs), confined in a
single quantum dot, that shows coherent oscillations similar to the excited-state Rabi …

We report the first experimental study of the optical Stark effect in single semiconductor
quantum dots (QD). For below band gap excitation, two-color pump-probe spectra show …

Nonresonant optical driving of confined semiconductors can open up exciting opportunities
for experimentally realizing strongly interacting photon-dressed (Floquet) states through the …

We present measurements and simulations of coherent control and readout of the
polarization in individual exciton states. The readout is accomplished by transient four-wave …

The nonlinear optical response to ultrafast laser pulses of semiconductor quantum dots
coupled to acoustic phonons is discussed on the basis of closed-form analytical results valid …

The four-level exciton/biexciton system of a single semiconductor quantum dot acts as a two-
qubit register. We experimentally demonstrate an exciton-biexciton Rabi rotation conditional …

A semiconductor quantum dot model accounting for single exciton as well as biexciton
states coupled to phonons and laser light is investigated in the limit of strong electronic …

Using two-photon excitation, stimulated emission from the biexciton state in a single
CdSe/ZnSe quantum dot is observed in a two-pulse configuration. We directly time resolve …

Low temperature relaxation of excitons between polarization eigenstates in single interface
fluctuation quantum dots is studied using copolarized and cross-polarized transient …

Transient spectral hole burning measurements are applied to an ensemble of InAs self-
assembled quantum dots. In addition to the expected exciton hole, we observe an “antihole” …
