Topological phononics offers numerous opportunities in manipulating elastic waves that can propagate in solids without being backscattered. Due to the lack of nanoscale imaging tools that aid the system design, however, acoustic topological…
Phonon trapping has an immense impact in many areas of science and technology, from the antennas of interferometric gravitational wave detectors to chip-scale quantum micro- and nano-mechanical oscillators. It usually relies on the…
The effect of quantum dot shape on the hole energy spectrum and optical properties caused by the interlevel charge transition based on the 4x4 Hamiltonian has been studied for the GaAs quantum dot in the AlAs semiconductor matrix.…
A microscopic theory of optical transitions in quantum dots with carrier-phonon interaction is developed. Virtual transitions into higher confined states with acoustic phonon assistance add a quadratic phonon coupling to the standard linear…
Scalable architectures for quantum computing using semiconductor quantum dots require interactions between qubits beyond adjacent quantum dots. Here, we propose using nanowires of electrons to mediate the interaction between two quantum…
A quantum master equation model for the interaction between a two-level system and whispering-gallery modes (WGMs) of a microdisk cavity is presented, with specific attention paid to current experiments involving a semiconductor quantum dot…
We investigate the feasibility of minimum absorption and minimum broadening of pulse propagation in an inhomogeneously broadened semiconductor quantum dot medium. The phonon interaction is inevitable in studying any semiconductor quantum…
Strain-free GaAs/AlGaAs semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) grown by droplet etching and nanohole infilling (DENI) are highly promising candidates for the on-demand generation of indistinguishable and entangled photon sources. The…
We present the results of a numerical investigation which show the excitation of acoustoelectric modes of vibration in GaAs-based heterostructures due to sharp nano-second electric-field pulses applied across surface gates. In particular,…
Phonons, the fundamental vibrational modes of a crystal lattice, play a crucial role in determining electronic properties of materials through electron-phonon interaction. However, it has proved difficult to directly probe the phonon modes…
The discrete nature of the vibrational modes of an isolated nanometer-scale solid dramatically modifies its low-energy electron and phonon dynamics from that of a bulk crystal. However, nanocrystals are usually coupled--even if only…
We report on a combined photoluminescence imaging and atomic force microscopy study of single, isolated self-assembled InAs quantum dots (density <0.01 um^(-2) capped by a 95 nm GaAs layer, and emitting around 950 nm. By combining optical…
We show that mismatch of the piezoelectric parameters between layers of multiple-quantum well structures leads to modification of the electron-phonon interaction. In particular, short-wavelength phonons propagating perpendicular to the…
Though extensively studied since the emergence of zincblende cubic A(B,C) semiconductor alloys (zb-SCA) in the sixties, the phonon mode behavior of Ga(As,P) remains a subject of debate to this day. Recently Zollner and co-authors reported…
Understanding surface collective dynamics in quantum materials is crucial for advancing quantum technologies. For example, surface phonon modes in quantum paraelectrics are thought to play an essential role in facilitating interfacial…
Previous demonstrations of quantum acoustic systems have been limited to isolated devices, with limited capability to route phonons and interconnect multi-port acoustic elements for further extension. Here, we demonstrate a scalable…
We used Raman scattering for study the phonon modes of self-organized Ge/Si quantum dots, grown by a molecular-beam epitaxy method. It is revealed, that Ge-Ge and Si-Ge vibrational modes considerably intensify at excitation of exciton…
Acoustic control and coupling of quantum systems via phonons can enable miniaturized quantum technology devices for on-chip integration. Optically active quantum dots (QDs) are essential for such platforms, yet they have long lacked direct…
