Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor nanostructures in which a three dimensional potential trap produces an electronic quantum confinement, thus mimicking the behaviour of single atomic dipole-like transitions. However unlike atoms, QDs can…
Strain-induced gradients of local electric fields in semiconductor quantum dots can couple to the quadrupole moments of nuclear spins. We develop a theory describing the influence of this quadrupolar coupling (QC) on the spin correlators of…
Owing to the variety of possible charge and spin states and to the different ways of coupling to the environment, paramagnetic centres in wide band-gap semiconductors and insulators exhibit a strikingly rich spectrum of properties and…
The paper reports optical orientation experiments performed in the narrow GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells doped with Mn. We experimentally demonstrate a control over the spin polarization by means of the optical orientation via the…
We present a microscopic theory of optical initialization, control and detection for a single electron spin in a quantum dot embedded into a zero-dimensional microcavity. The strong coupling regime of the trion and the cavity mode is…
We describe a coherent control technique for coupling electron spin states associated with semiconductor double-dot molecule to a microwave stripline resonator on a chip. We identify a novel regime of operation in which strong interaction…
Dipolaritons are quasiparticles that arise in coupled quantum wells embedded in a microcavity, they are a superposition of a photon, a direct exciton and an indirect exciton. We propose the existence of dipolaritons in a system of two…
In this review we discuss several fundamental processes taking place in semiconductor nanocrystals (quantum dots, QDs) when their electron subsystem interacts with electromagnetic (EM) radiation. The physical phenomena of light emission and…
The spin of a charged semiconductor quantum dot (QD) coupled to an optical cavity is a promising candidate for high fidelity spin-photon interfaces; the cavity selectively modifies the decay rates of optical transitions such that spin…
Controlling quantum matter with light offers a promising route to dynamically tune its many-body properties, ranging from band topology to superconductivity. However, achieving such optical control for strongly correlated electron systems…
A promising method to investigate dark exciton transitions in quantum dots is presented. The optical recombination of the dark exciton is allowed when the exciton state is coupled with an individual magnetic impurity (manganese ion). It is…
We propose a readily achievable experimental setting where an external magnetic field is used to tune the emergent quantum electrodynamics (eQED) of dipolar-octupolar quantum spin ice (DO-QSI). In $U(1)_\pi$ DO-QSI -- the proposed ground…
A method is proposed for the optical rotation of the spin of an electron in a quantum dot using excited trion states to implement operations up to two orders of magnitude faster than those of most existing proposals. Key ingredients are the…
Despite most of the applications of anatase nanostructures rely on photoexcited charge processes, yet profound theoretical understanding of fundamental related properties is lacking. Here, by means of ab initio ground and excited-state…
We use quantum optimal control theory algorithms to design external electric fields that drive the coupled spin and orbital dynamics of an electron in a double quantum dot, subject to the spin-orbit interaction and Zeeman magnetic fields.…
The quantum point contact (QPC) back-action has been found to cause non-thermal-equilibrium excitations to the electron spin states in a quantum dot (QD). Here we use back-action as an excitation source to probe the spin excited states…
Using the tight-binding approach, we investigate the energy spectrum of square, triangular and hexagonal MoS$_2$ quantum dots (QDs) in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field. Novel edge states emerge in MoS$_2$ QDs, which are…
Magnetic anisotropies in quantum dots (QDs) doped with magnetic ions are discussed in terms of two frameworks: anisotropic $g$-factors and magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy. It is shown that even a simple model of zinc-blende p-doped QDs…
Quantum impurity (QI) spins offer promising information processing and sensing applications by harnessing up to room-temperature quantum coherence. Challenged by the requirement of designing local coherent drives and improving sensitivity…
The optical orientation of the exciton spin in an ensemble of self-organized cubic GaN/AlN quantum dots is studied by time-resolved photoluminescence. Under a polarized quasi-resonant excitation, the luminescence linear polarization…
