"Which path" decoherence in quantum dot experiments

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

We analyze and interpret recent optical experiments with semiconductor quantum dots. We derive a quantitative relation between the amount of information transferred into the environment and the optical polarization that may be observed in a spectroscopy experiment.
