Spintronics, or spin electronics, involves the study of active control and manipulation of spin
degrees of freedom in solid-state systems. This article reviews the current status of this …

The canonical example of a quantum-mechanical two-level system is spin. The simplest
picture of spin is a magnetic moment pointing up or down. The full quantum properties of …

Experimental and theoretical progress toward quantum computation with spins in quantum
dots (QDs) is reviewed, with particular focus on QDs formed in GaAs heterostructures, on …

The updated and enlarged new edition of this book provides an introduction to and an
overview of semiconductor optics from the IR through the visible to the UV. It includes …

The spin of a single electron subject to a static magnetic field provides a natural two-level
system that is suitable for use as a quantum bit, the fundamental logical unit in a quantum …

The mesoscopic spin system formed by the 10 4–10 6 nuclear spins in a semiconductor
quantum dot offers a unique setting for the study of many-body spin physics in the …

This article reviews the current status of spin dynamics in semiconductors which has
achieved much progress in the recent years due to the fast growing field of semiconductor …

We study spin relaxation and decoherence in a GaAs quantum dot due to spin-orbit (SO)
interaction. We derive an effective Hamiltonian which couples the electron spin to phonons …

A review of coherent and collective quantum optical effects like superradiance and coherent
population trap** in mesoscopic systems is presented. Various new physical realizations …

We have performed a systematic calculation for the non-Markovian dynamics of a localized
electron spin interacting with an environment of nuclear spins via the Fermi contact …
