We study the influence of the phonon environment on the electron dynamics in a doped quantum dot molecule. A non-perturbative quantum kinetic theory based on correlation expansion is used in order to describe both diagonal and off-diagonal…

We uncover two microscopic physical settings with significant pure spin decoherence. First, for quantum dots (QD) electrostatically confined in two-dimensional hole gas, decoherence comes from qubit spin-orbit (SO) coupling to phonons,…

Theoretical and numerical calculations of the optical absorption spectra of excitons interacting with longitudinal-optical phonons in quasi-2D polar semiconductors are presented. In II-VI semiconductor quantum wells, exciton binding energy…

In semiconductor quantum dots the coupling to the environment, i.e. to phonons, plays a crucial role for optical state preparation. We analyze the phonon impact on two methods for a direct optical preparation of the dark exciton, which is…

We demonstrate that electron-phonon interaction in quantum dots embedded in one-dimensional systems leads to pronounced, non-Markovian decoherence of optical transitions. The experiments we present focus on the lineshape of…

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…

Optical transitions in a semiconductor quantum dot are theoretically investigated, with emphasis on the coupling to longitudinal optical phonons, and including excitonic effects. When limiting to a finite number of $m$ electron and $n$ hole…

Many quantum dot qubits operate in regimes where the energy splittings between qubit states are large and phonons can be the dominant source of decoherence. The recently proposed charge quadrupole qubit, based on one electron in a triple…

Decoherence of a flux qubit due to inelastic scattering of thermal phonons by the qubit is studied. The computed decoherence rates contain no unknown constants and are expressed entirely in terms of measurable parameters of the qubit. The…

We study the electronic relaxation in a quantum dot within the polaron approach, by focusing on the {\it reversible} anharmonic decay of longitudinal optical (LO) phonons forming the polaron into longitudinal acoustic (LA) phonons. The…

We theoretically study the optical properties of an InAs/GaAs quantum dot (QD) near the area of the second-order resonance between an electron confined in the QD and two longitudinal optical phonons. We present the absorption spectra of an…

We study theoretically the contribution of quantum effects to the exciton diffusion coefficient in atomically thin crystals. It is related to the weak localization caused by the interference of excitonic wavefunctions on the trajectories…

For a single semiconductor quantum dot embedded in a microcavity, we theoretically and experimentally investigate phonon-assisted transitions between excitons and the cavity mode. Within the framework of the independent boson model we find…

Interpretation of experiments on quantum dot (QD) lasers presents a challenge: the phonon bottleneck, which should strongly suppress relaxation and dephasing of the discrete energy states, often seems to be inoperative. We suggest and…

Excitonic states and the line shape of optical transitions in coupled quantum dots (quantum dot molecules) are studied theoretically. For a pair of electrically tunable, vertically aligned quantum dots we investigate the coupling between…

A picosecond acoustic pulse can be used to control the lasing emission from semiconductor nanostructures by shifting their electronic transitions. When the active medium, here an ensemble of (In,Ga)As quantum dots, is shifted into or out of…

A quantum dot strongly coupled to a single high finesse optical microcavity mode constitutes a new fundamental system for quantum optics. Here, the effect of exciton-phonon interactions on reversible quantum-dot cavity coupling is analysed…

In this paper, we investigate, phonon effects on the optical properties of a spherical quantum dot. For this purpose, we consider the interaction of a spherical quantum dot with classical and quantum fields while the exciton of quantum dot…

When an electron-hole pair is optically excited in a semiconductor quantum dot the host crystal lattice needs to adapt to the presence of the generated charge distribution. Therefore the coupled exciton-phonon system has to establish a new…

The concept of \textit{optical} exciton - a photo-excited bound electron-hole pair within a crystal - is routinely used to interpret and model a wealth of excited-state phenomena in semiconductors. Beside originating sub-band gap signatures…
