We demonstrate evidence for a radiative recombination channel of dark excitons in self-assembled quantum dots. This channel is due to a light hole admixture in the excitonic ground state. Its presence was experimentally confirmed by a…

The exciton recombination and spin dynamics in (In,Al)As/AlAs quantum dots (QDs) with indirect band gap and type-I band alignment are studied. The negligible (less than $0.2~\mu$eV) value of the anisotropic exchange interaction in these QDs…

We apply low temperature confocal optical microscopy to spatially resolve, and spectroscopically study a single self assembled quantum dot. By comparing the emission spectra obtained at various excitation levels to a theoretical many body…

Quantum dots are arguably one of the best platforms for optically accessible spin based qubits. The paramount demand of extended qubit storage time can be met by using quantum-dot-confined dark exciton: a longlived electron-hole pair with…

Owing to exchange interaction between the exciton and magnetic ion, a quantum dot embedding a single magnetic ion is a great platform for optical control of individual spin. In particular, a quantum dot provides strong and sharp optical…

We show that for the very same reason that excitons are bright, i.e. coupled to photons, they have a higher energy than dark excitons, even for electrons spatially separated from holes, such as in a double quantum well. Indeed, the same…

The exciton recombination and spin dynamics are investigated both experimentally and theoretically in an ensemble of indirect band gap (In,Al)As/AlAs quantum dots (QDs) with type-I band alignment. The magnetic-field-induced circular…

We present the photoluminescence excitation study of the self-assembled CdTe/ZnTe quantum dots doped with manganese ions. We demonstrate the identification method of spontaneously coupled quantum dots pairs containing single Mn2+ ions. As…

The optical orientation and alignment of excitons in semiconductor indirect gap quantum dots have been studied theoretically. A special regime is analyzed in which the energy of the hyperfine interaction of an electron with lattice nuclei…

We demonstrate optically detected spin resonance of a single electron confined to a self-assembled quantum dot. The dot is rendered dark by resonant optical pumping of the spin with a coherent laser. Contrast is restored by applying a radio…

We predict that the collision of two fully dark exciton condensates produces interference fringes which are not only dark but also bright. So, quite surprisingly, the collision of coherent states made of dark excitons produces light. This…

The electron and hole states in a CdTe quantum dot containing a single magnetic impurity in an external magnetic field are investigated, using the multiband approximation which includes the heavy hole-light hole coupling effects. The…

We investigate the optical properties of neutral excitons in CdTe/ZnTe quantum dots containing a single Ni2+ ion. We show that the photoluminescence spectra provide a direct spectroscopic signature of strain induced mixing of the Ni2+ spin…

We provide a theoretical description of the optical orientation of a single Mn$^{2+}$ ion spin under quasi-resonant excitation demonstrated experimentally by Goryca et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 087401 (2009)]. We build and analyze a…

We investigate experimentally and theoretically the behavior of the confined dark exciton in an InAs/GaAs semiconductor quantum dot, under the application of an external magnetic field in Voigt configuration. We show that by varying the…

In this work, we theoretically investigate the optical orientation and alignment of excitons in quantum dots with weak electron-hole exchange interaction and long exciton radiative lifetimes. This particular regime is realized in…

We present a microscopic theory of the optical properties of self-assembled quantum dots doped with a single magnetic manganese (Mn) impurity and containing a controlled number of electrons. The single-particle electron and heavy-hole…

We have studied the exciton states in a CdTe quantum ring in an external magnetic field containing a single magnetic impurity. We have used the multiband approximation which includes the heavy hole - light hole coupling effects. The…

We investigate theoretically the spectral and dynamical effects of the short-range exchange interaction between a single manganese (Mn) atom hosted by cylindrical CdTe quantum dots and its light-hole excitons or biexcitons. Our approach is…

We consider the charged exciton complexes of an ideal two-dimensional electron-hole system in the limit of strong magnetic fields. A series of charged multiple-exciton states is identified and variational and finite-size exact…
