Long-lived dark exciton states are formed in self-assembled quantum dots due to the
combination of the angular momentum of electrons and holes. The lifetime of dark excitons …

The role of phonons for adiabatic rapid passage in semiconductor quantum dots is studied
theoretically. While in an ideal system adiabatic rapid passage results in a full inversion of …

We study the phonon influence on the spin of an exciton confined in a quantum dot. A
process causing the transition of an initial bright heavy hole exciton spin state to dark states …

We show that pure dephasing of a quantum dot charge (excitonic) qubit may be reduced for
sufficiently slow gating by collectively encoding quantum information in an array of quantum …

The influence of acoustic phonons on the emission spectra of quantum dashes (QDashes),
that are quasi-zero-dimensional epitaxial nanostructures with significant shape anisotropy …

A single-electron two-path interference (Young) experiment is considered theoretically. The
decoherence of an electron wave packet due to the which path trace left in a conducting …

Highly accurate numerical results of phonon-induced two-electron spin relaxation in silicon
double quantum dots are presented. The relaxation, enabled by spin-orbit coupling and the …

In this work, we investigate hole spin-flip transitions in a single self-assembled InGaAs/GaAs
quantum dot. We find the hole wave functions using the eight-band k· p model, and we …

We study theoretically phonon-assisted relaxation and tunneling in a system composed of a
quantum dot which is coupled to a quantum well. Within the k· p method combined with the …

We present a theoretical study showing that an optically driven excitonic two-level system in
a solid-state environment can act as a heat pump by means of repeated phonon emission or …
