We study the effect of electron tunneling on the level statistics of quantum dots. While the coupling between individual levels and the electron reservoir leads predominantly to the expected level broadening, the indirect coupling of…
Quantum dots may display fascinating features of strong correlation such as finite-size Wigner crystallization. We here review a few electron spectroscopies and predict that both inelastic light scattering and tunneling imaging experiments…
We have investigated numerically the electron addition spectra in quantum dots containing a small number (N < 11) of interacting electrons, in presence of strong disorder. For a short-range Coulomb repulsion, we find regimes in which two…
We show that the addition spectra of semiconductor quantum dots in the presence of magnetic field can be studied through a theoretical scheme that allows an accurate and practical treatment of the single particle states and…
The self consistent version of the density functional theory is presented, which allows to calculate the ground state and dynamic properties of finite multi-electron systems. An exact functional equation for the effective interaction, from…
We show that in quantum dots the physical quantities probed by local tunneling spectroscopies, namely the quasi-particle wavefunctions of interacting electrons, can considerably deviate from their single-particle counterparts as an effect…
We employ ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy to directly monitor electron tunneling between discrete orbital states in a pair of spatially separated quantum dots. Immediately after excitation, several peaks are observed in the pump-probe…
Few-electron quantum dots are investigated in the regime of strong tunneling to the leads. Inelastic cotunneling is used to measure the two-electron singlet-triplet splitting above and below a magnetic field driven singlet-triplet…
We use time-resolved charge detection techniques to investigate single-electron tunneling in semiconductor quantum dots. The ability to detect individual charges in real-time makes it possible to count electrons one-by-one as they pass…
Single dot photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy provides an insight into energy structure of individual quantum dots, energy transfer processes within and between the dots and their surroundings. The access to single dot energy…
Luminescence spectroscopy experiments were realized for single colloidal quantum dots CdSe/ZnS in a broad temperature range above room temperature in a nitrogen atmosphere. Broadening and shifts of spectra due to the temperature change as…
Experiments on the direction-resolved full-counting statistics of single-electron tunneling allow testing the fundamentally important Fluctuation Theorem (FT). At the same time, the FT provides a frame for analyzing such data. Here we…
Recent experiments on quantum dots in the Coulomb Blockade regime have shown how adding successive electrons into a dot modifies the energy spectrum and the wave functions of the electrons already present in the dot. Using a microscopic…
The electronic structure of nanoscale moieties (such as molecules and quantum dots) governs the properties and performance of the bottom-up fabricated devices based on their assemblies. Accordingly, simple and faster experimental methods…
Quantum dots (QDs), embedded in supercapacitors (S-C) cells exhibited capacitance amplification that peaked at certain QD concentration. More than 2.5 peak amplification was demonstrated with cyclic voltammetry (C-V) at a scan rate of 0.1…
Silicon quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize technology with capabilities to solve real-life problems that are computationally complex or even intractable for modern computers [1] by offering sufficient high quality qubits…
We review a number of recent experiments which are probing ground state and excitations of few-electron systems in self-assembled InAs quantum dots. Far-infrared spectroscopy, together with local as well as large-scale capacitive probing…
The electron-electron scattering rate of single particle excitations in atoms is estimated and compared with the corresponding rate in quantum dots. It is found that in alkali atoms single particle excitations do not acquire a width due to…
We show both theoretically and experimentally that scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS) images of semiconductor quantum dots may display clear signatures of electron-electron correlation. We apply many-body tunneling theory to a realistic…
Self-assembled quantum dots have remarkable optical, electronic and spintronic properties that make them leading candidates for quantum information technologies. Their characterization requires rapid and local determination of both charge…
