Physics at the nanoscale has emerged as a field where discoveries of fundamental physical
effects lead to a greater understanding of the solid state. Additionally, the field is believed to …

Semiconductor quantum dot molecules (QDMs) are systems composed of two or more
closely spaced and interacting QDs. QDMs are receiving much attention both as playground …

An asymmetric pair of coupled InAs quantum dots is tuned into resonance by applying an
electric field so that a single hole forms a coherent molecular wave function. The optical …

Reliable preparation, manipulation and measurement protocols are necessary to exploit a
physical system as a quantum bit. Spins in optically active quantum dots offer one potential …

Lateral quantum coupling between two self-assembled (In, Ga) As quantum dots has been
observed. Photon statistics measurements between the various excitonic and biexcitonic …

Coherent tunneling between two InAs quantum dots forms delocalized molecular states.
Using magnetophotoluminescence spectroscopy we show that when holes tunnel through a …

We report on the electronic properties of few interacting electrons confined in a parabolic
quantum dot based on a theoretical approach developed to investigate the influence of …

Recent experimental developments in the field of semiconductor quantum dot (QD)
spectroscopy are discussed. Firstly, we report about single QD exciton two-level systems …

Coupled quantum dots (CQDs) that consist of two InAs QDs stacked along the growth
direction and separated by a relatively thin tunnel barrier have been the focus of extensive …

Filling a gap in the literature, this up-to-date introduction to the field provides an overview of
