We present a comparative study of two self-assembled quantum dot (QD) systems based on II-VI compounds: CdTe/ZnTe and CdSe/ZnSe. Using magneto-optical techniques we investigated a large population of individual QDs. The systematic…

To generate entangled photon pairs via quantum dots (QDs), the exciton fine structure splitting (FSS) must be comparable to the exciton homogeneous line width. Yet in the (In,Ga)As/GaAs QD, the intrinsic FSS is about a few tens $\mu$eV. To…

Cd(Se,Te) Quantum Dots (QD) in ZnSe barrier typically exhibit a very high spectral density, which precludes investigation of single dot photoluminescence. We design, grow and study individual Cd(Se,Te)/ZnSe QDs of low spectral density of…

The measurable degree of entanglement from a quantum dot via the biexciton-exciton cascade depends crucially on the bright exciton fine-structure splitting and on the detection time resolution. Here, we propose an optical approach with fast…

We investigate experimentally and theoretically few-particle effects in the optical spectra of single quantum dots (QDs). Photo-depletion of the QD together with the slow hopping transport of impurity-bound electrons back to the QD are…

Tightly bound excitons in monolayer semiconductors represent a versatile platform to study two-dimensional propagation of neutral quasiparticles. Their intrinsic properties, however, can be severely obscured by spatial energy fluctuations…

Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors are promising candidates for optoelectronic application and quantum information processes due to their inherent out-of-plane 2D confinement. In addition, they offer the possibility of achieving…

Single quantum emitters (SQEs) are at the heart of quantum optics and photonic quantum information technologies. To date, all demonstrated solid-state single-photon sources are confined in three-dimensional materials. Here, we report a new…

We present a polarization-resolved photoluminescence study of the exchange interaction effects in a prototype system consisting of an individual Fe2+ ion and a single neutral exciton confined in a CdSe/ZnSe quantum dot. Maximal possible…

Owing to exchange interaction between the exciton and magnetic ion, a quantum dot embedding a single magnetic ion is a great platform for optical control of individual spin. In particular, a quantum dot provides strong and sharp optical…

Excitons, Coulomb bound electron-hole pairs, dominate the optical response of two-dimensional semiconductors across near-infrared and visible frequencies due to their large binding energy and prominent oscillator strength. Previous…

The optical spectra of CdSe nanocrystals up to 55 A in diameter are analyzed in a wide range of energies from the fine structure of the low-energy excitations to the so-called high-energy transitions. We apply a symmetry-based method in two…

We propose correlated yet extremely simple single-parameter-dependent wave-functions with a Slater-type correlation factor, to describe excitons in 0D, quasi-1D and quasi-2D semiconductor quantum dots. We provide closed-form formulas for…

In a charge tunable device, we investigate the fine structure splitting of neutral excitons in single long-wavelength (1.1\mu m < \lambda < 1.3 \mu m) InGaAs quantum dots as a function of external uniaxial strain. Nominal fine structure…

Semiconductor quantum dots host a rich manifold of excitonic complexes, including neutral excitons that emit anti-bunched single photons and charged exciton complexes capable of producing super-bunched photons via cascade emission.…

Excitons play a key role for the optoelectronic properties of hybrid systems. We apply near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) with a $100\,\text{-nm}$ spatial resolution to study the photoluminescence of surface excitons (SX) in a…

Spatially structured light fields applied to semiconductor quantum dots yield fundamentally different absorption spectra than homogeneous beams. In this paper, we theoretically discuss the resulting spectra for different light beams using a…

Semiconductor quantum dots embedded in micro-pillar cavities are excellent emitters of single photons when pumped resonantly. Often, the same spatial mode is used to both resonantly excite a quantum dot and to collect the emitted single…

Spatiotemporal dynamics of excitons in isolated semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes are studied using transient absorption microscopy. Differential reflection and transmission of an 810-nm probe pulse after excitation by a 750-nm…

Exciton spin dynamics in quasi-spherical CdS quantum dots is studied in detail experimentally and theoretically. Exciton states are calculated using the 6-band k.p Hamiltonian. It is shown that for various sets of Luttinger parameters, when…
