In this work we present a comparison of multiband k.p-models, the effective bond-orbital approach, and an empirical tight-binding model to calculate the electronic structure for the example of a truncated pyramidal GaN/AlN self-assembled…
An empirical $s_cp^3_a$ tight-binding (TB) model is applied to the investigation of electronic states in semiconductor quantum dots. A basis set of three $p$-orbitals at the anions and one $s$-orbital at the cations is chosen. Matrix…
Pseudopotentials, tight-binding models, and $k\cdot p$ theory have stood for many years as the standard techniques for computing electronic states in crystalline solids. Here we present the first new method in decades, which we call…
We present a detailed comparative study of two important theoretical approaches: atomistic sp$^3$d$^5$s$^*$ tight-binding and continuum eight-band $k \cdot p$ methods, for modeling the spin and optical properties of quantum dots (QDs). Our…
Motivated by recent quantum gas microscope experiments for fermions in optical lattices, we present proof of principle calculations showing that it is possible to obtain the complete information about the quantum state on a small subsystem…
The k.p perturbation method for determination of electronic structure first pioneered by Kohn and Luttinger continues to provide valuable insight to several band structure features. This method has been adopted to heterostructures confined…
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…
The systematic approach to study bound states in quantum chromodynamics is presented. The method utilizes nonperturbative flow equations in the confining background, that makes possible to perform perturbative renormalization and to bring…
We report on a multiband microscopic theory of many-exciton complexes in self-assembled quantum dots. The single particle states are obtained by three methods: single-band effective-mass approximation, the multiband $k\cdot p$ method, and…
Quantum embedding theories are promising approaches to investigate strongly-correlated electronic states of active regions of large-scale molecular or condensed systems. Notable examples are spin defects in semiconductors and insulators. We…
We present a new method for calculating electronic states in low-dimensional semiconductor heterostructures, which is based on the real-space Hamiltonian in the envelope function approximation. The numerical implementation of the method is…
We present a novel "linear combination of atomic orbitals"-type of approximation, enabling accurate electronic structure calculations for systems of up to 20 or more electronically coupled quantum dots. Using realistic single quantum dot…
A typical goal of a quantum simulation is to find the energy levels and eigenstates of a given Hamiltonian. This can be realized by adiabatically varying the system control parameters to steer an initial eigenstate into the eigenstate of…
Quantum state tomography aims to determine the quantum state of a system from measured data and is an essential tool for quantum information science. When dealing with continuous variable quantum states of light, tomography is often done by…
Interacting fermions on a lattice can develop strong quantum correlations, which lie at the heart of the classical intractability of many exotic phases of matter. Seminal efforts are underway in the control of artificial quantum systems,…
Low-loss optical communication requires light sources at 1.5um wavelengths. Experiments showed without much theoretical guidance that InAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) may be tuned to such wavelengths by adjusting the In fraction in an…
The electronic structure of pyramidal shaped InAs/GaAs quantum dots is calculated using an eight-band strain dependent $\bf k\cdot p$ Hamiltonian. The influence of strain on band energies and the conduction-band effective mass are examined.…
We present a model to find analytically the electronic states in self-assembled quantum dots with a truncated spherical cap (`lens') geometry. A conformal analytical image is designed to map the quantum dot boundary into a dot with…
We have calculated band-edge energies for most combinations of zincblende AlN, GaN, InN, GaP, GaAs, InP, InAs, GaSb and InSb in which one material is strained to the other. Calculations were done for three different geometries, quantum…
Recently, the size-dependence of high-order harmonic generation (HHG) in quantum dots has been investigated experimentally. In particular, for longer driving wavelengths and QDs smaller than 3\,nm, HHG was strongly suppressed, however,…
