Dark excitons are of fundamental importance in a broad range of contexts, but are difficult to study using conventional optical spectroscopy due to their weak interaction with light. We show how coherent multidimensional spectroscopy can…
Combining highly coherent spin control with efficient light-matter coupling offers great opportunities for quantum communication and networks, as well as quantum computing. Optically active semiconductor quantum dots have unparalleled…
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…
The manipulation of molecular excited state processes through strong coupling has attracted significant interest for its potential to provide precise control of photochemical phenomena. However, the key limiting factor for achieving this…
Extension of coherent response time is a desired goal in the field of all-optical information processing implemented in classical and quantum ways. Here we demonstrate how spin-dependent stimulated photon echo can be used to extend decay…
Understanding the interplay between a quantum system and its environment lies at the heart of quantum science and its applications. To-date most efforts have focused on circumventing decoherence induced by the environment by either…
The lack of structural symmetry which usually characterizes semiconductor quantum dots lifts the energetic degeneracy of the bright excitonic states and hampers severely their use as high fidelity sources of entangled photons. We…
Hybrid spin-optomechanical quantum systems offer high flexibility, integrability and applicability for quantum science and technology. Particularly, on-chip surface acoustic waves (SAWs) can efficiently drive spin transitions in the ground…
Recent progress in nanotechnology has allowed to fabricate new hybrid systems where a single two-level system is coupled to a mechanical nanoresonator. In such systems the quantum nature of a macroscopic degree of freedom can be revealed…
The interaction between distinct excitations in solids is of both fundamental interest and technological importance. One example of such interactions is coupling between an exciton, a Coulomb bound electron-hole pair, and a magnon, a…
Larmor precession of the quasiparticle spin about a transverse magnetic field leads to the oscillations in the spontaneous photon echo signal due to the shuffling of the optical coherence between optically accessible (bright) and…
We demonstrate coupling of a semiconductor quantum dot (QD) to an optomechanical cavity, mediated by the strain of a nano-mechanical mode. The device comprises an optomechanical photonic crystal nanobeam in GaAs with embedded In(Ga)As QDs.…
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…
Excitonic transitions offer a possible route to ultrafast optical spin manipulation in coupled nanostructures. We perform here a detailed study of the three principal exciton-mediated decoherence channels for optically-controlled electron…
We demonstrate that the quantum dot-confined dark exciton forms a long-lived integer spin solid state qubit which can be deterministically on-demand initiated in a pure state by one optical pulse. Moreover, we show that this qubit can be…
We study the dark exciton's behavior as a coherent physical two-level spin system (qubit) using an external magnetic field in the Faraday configuration. Our studies are based on polarization-sensitive intensity autocorrelation measurements…
Driving an open spin system by two strong, nearly degenerate fields enables addressing populations of individual spin states, characterisation of their interaction with thermal bath, and measurements of their relaxation/decoherence rates.…
We report on the coherent optical excitation of electron spin polarization in the ground state of charged GaAs quantum dots via an intermediate charged exciton (trion) state. Coherent optical fields are used for the creation and detection…
Solid-state spins are promising as interfaces from stationary qubits to single photons for quantum communication technologies. Semiconductor quantum dots have excellent optical coherence, exhibit near unity collection efficiencies when…
We study the collective dynamics of two distant magnets coherently coupled by acoustic phonons that are transmitted through an intercalated crystal. By tuning the ferromagnetic resonances of the two magnets to an acoustic resonance of the…
