We review distinct features arising from the unique nature of the carrier-phonon coupling in
self-assembled semiconductor quantum dots. Because of the discrete electronic energy …

We discuss phonon-induced non-Markovian and Markovian features in QD-based quantum
nanooptics. We cover lineshapes in linear absorption experiments, phonon-induced …

We benchmark a selection of semiclassical and perturbative dynamics techniques by
investigating the correlated evolution of a cavity-bound atomic system to assess their …

We investigate radiative coupling between emitters in quantum-dot (QD) nanolasers. For
typical systems with tens to hundreds of active emitters, a strong impact of sub-and …

We present a microscopically based scheme for the generation of coherent cavity phonons
(phonon laser) by an optically driven semiconductor quantum dot coupled to a THz acoustic …

Quantum emitters coupled to plasmonic resonators are known to allow enhanced
broadband Purcell factors, and such systems show promise as possible candidates for on …

Weakly excited states of dye aggregates and supramolecular complexes can be
characterized by single or two exciton states. Stronger excitation results in the presence of …

We present a new method to formulate equations of motion for open quantum many-particle
systems. Our approach allows for a numerically exact treatment as well as for …

Hybrid nanosystems composed of excitonic and plasmonic constituents can have different
properties than the sum of of the two constituents, due to the exciton–plasmon interaction …

How small can a laser be made? What characteristic properties must a device possess to
still be called a laser? How can one prove laser action in the limiting cases of single-emitter …
