In a quantum dot with dozens of electrons, an approximation beyond Tamm-Dankoff is used to construct the quantum states with an additional electron-hole pair, i.e. the "excitonic" states. The lowest states mimic the non-interacting…
Quantum emitters promise to emit exactly one photon with high probability when pumped by a laser pulse. However, even in ideal systems, re-excitation during a laser pulse causes the consecutive emission of two photons, thus limiting the…
