We theoretically investigate the spin dynamics of a heavy hole confined to an unstrained III-V semiconductor quantum dot and interacting with a narrowed nuclear-spin bath. We show that band hybridization leads to an exponential decay of…
In this article we review our work on the dynamics and decoherence of electron and hole spins in single and double quantum dots. The first part, on electron spins, focuses on decoherence induced via the hyperfine interaction while the…
We investigate in detail, using both analytical and numerical tools, the decoherence of electron spins in quantum dots (QDs) coupled to a bath of nuclear spins in magnetic fields or with various initial bath polarizations, focusing on the…
We theoretically study the interaction of a heavy hole with nuclear spins in a quasi-two-dimensional III-V semiconductor quantum dot and the resulting dephasing of heavy-hole spin states. It has frequently been stated in the literature that…
We measure the strength and the sign of hyperfine interaction of a heavy-hole with nuclear spins in single self-assembled quantum dots. Our experiments utilize the locking of a quantum dot resonance to an incident laser frequency to…
Germanium quantum dots in strained $\text{Ge}/\text{Si}_{1-x}\text{Ge}_{x}$ heterostructures exhibit fast and coherent hole qubit control in experiments. In this work, we theoretically and numerically address the effects of random alloy…
We study the decoherence of a single electron spin in an isolated quantum dot induced by hyperfine interaction with nuclei for times smaller than the nuclear spin relaxation time. The decay is caused by the spatial variation of the electron…
We investigate the influence of an external magnetic field on spin phase relaxation of single electrons in semiconductor quantum dots induced by the hyperfine interaction. The basic decay mechanism is attributed to the dispersion of local…
We review our investigation of the spin dynamics for two electrons confined to a double quantum dot under the influence of the hyperfine interaction between the electron spins and the surrounding nuclei. Further we propose a scheme to…
We present an atomistic investigation of the influence of strain on the electronic properties of quantum dots (QD's) within the empirical $s p^{3} s^{*}$ tight-binding (ETB) model with interactions up to 2nd nearest neighbors and spin-orbit…
Hole spins in semiconductor quantum dots can be efficiently manipulated with radio-frequency electric fields owing to the strong spin-orbit interactions in the valence bands. Here we show that the motion of the dot in inhomogeneous strain…
The groundstate properties of an exciton in a self-assembled quantum disk are calculated in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field. For sufficient wide and thin dots, the strain field leads to a confinement of the heavy hole within…
This dissertation studies spin squeezing, entanglement and decoherence in large ensembles of cold, trapped alkali atoms with hyperfine spin f interacting with optical fields. Restricting the state of each atom to a qutrit embedded in the…
We simulate the control of the spin states in a two-electron double quantum dot when an external detuning potential is used for passing the system through an anticrossing. The hyperfine coupling of the electron spins with the surrounding…
Intrinsic and Rashba spin-orbit interactions in strained graphene is studied within the tight-binding (TB) approach. Dependence of Slater-Koster (SK) parameters of graphene on strain are extracted by fitting the \emph{ab initio} band…
The spin interaction of a hole confined in a quantum dot with the surrounding nuclei is described in terms of an effective magnetic field. We show that, in contrast to the Fermi contact hyperfine interaction for conduction electrons, the…
This study explores the optical properties of quantum dots doped with a Ni$^{2+}$ ion that interacts with a charged exciton. Systematic magneto-optical analysis reveals that the strain distribution at the Ni$^{2+}$ site significantly…
Carbon based systems are prominent candidates for a solid-state spin-qubit due to weak spin-orbit and hyperfine interactions in combination with a low natural abundance of spin carrying isotopes. We consider the effect of the hyperfine…
Electron-phonon coupling can strongly affect the eigenmodes of nano- and micromechanical resonators. We study the effect of the coupling for $p$-doped semiconductor resonators. We show that the backaction from the strain-induced…
A heavy hole confined to an InGaAs quantum dot promises the union of a stable spin and optical coherence to form a near perfect, high-bandwidth spin-photon interface. Despite theoretical predictions and encouraging preliminary measurements,…
