The purpose of this review is to survey the status of the theory and experiment which can
contribute to our knowledge of plasmon excitations in synthetic semiconductor …

This book presents an overview of the current understanding of the physics of zero-
dimensional semiconductors. It concentrates mainly on quantum dots of wide-gap …

In this introductory chapter several basic concepts, relevant for mesoscopic electron
transport, will be described. The aim is to provide a basis for several of the following …

We study resonant tunneling through a single-level quantum dot in the presence of strong
Coulomb repulsion beyond the perturbative regime. The level is either spin degenerate or …

The theory of electron correlation in semiconductor quantum dots is reviewed with emphasis
on the physics of dots in strong magnetic fields. A brief survey of dot fabrication and …

We present a new high performance configuration interaction code optimally designed for
the calculation of the lowest-energy eigenstates of a few electrons in semiconductor …

We suggest an approach for transport through finite systems based on the Liouville
equation. By working in a basis of many-particle states for the finite system, Coulomb …

A quantum computer based on an asymmetric coupled-dot system has been proposed and
shown to operate as a controlled-NOT gate. The basic ideas are the following.(1) The …

Zero-bias anomalies in the conductance through quantum dots have recently been identified
as Kondo resonances and explained in terms of the Anderson impurity model. The effect …

A transformation to a moving frame (the Eckardt frame) is used to study the quantum states
of interacting electrons in parabolic quantum dots in the presence of a perpendicular …
