We study the evolution of a quantum dot controlled by a frequency-swept (chirped), linearly polarized laser pulse in the presence of carrier-phonon coupling. The final occupation of the exciton state is limited both due to phonon-induced…
We study a model of a large number of strongly coupled phonons that can be viewed as a bosonic variant of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model. We determine the phase diagram of the model which consists of a glass phase and a disordered phase, with…
