Abstract

We investigated the entanglement in a diluted magnetic semiconductor quantum dot, crucial for quantum technologies. Despite their potential, these systems exhibit low extraction rates. We explore self-assembled InGaAs quantum dots, focusing on entanglement between them based on spin states. Our analysis involves defining wavefunctions, employing density matrix operators, and measuring entanglement entropy. Numerical assessments reveal few promising pairs among various quantum dot combinations that exhibit significant entanglement. Additionally, this work discusses theoretical developments and statistical evaluations of entanglement in diluted magnetic semiconductor quantum dots, providing insights into their potential for quantum applications.

Spin-Based Quantum Information Processing in Magnetic Quantum Dots

We define the qubit as a pair of singlet and triplet states of two electrons in a He-type quantum dot (QD) placed in a diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMS) medium. The molecular field is here essential as it removes the degeneracy of the triplet state and strongly enhances the Zeeman splitting. Methods of qubit rotation as well as two-qubit operations are suggested. The system of a QD in a DMS is described in a way which allows an analysis of the decoherence due to spin waves in the DMS subsystem.

Entanglement detection schemes and coherent manipulation of spin in quantum dots

Ognjen Malkoc

The work contained in this thesis deals with two closely related topics. Papers I-III deal with charge transport statistics in nanoscale devices to investigate the presence of entanglement in the constituent electrons. We identify the contributions of entangled electron pairs to the current cross-correlations as a signature of entanglement. Paper IV treats the electric control of a quantum dot based spin qubit via Electric Dipole Spin Resonance.In Paper I, we present a spin entanglement detection model in a hybrid nanoscale device, with a general entangler connected to a set of quantum dots and anti-collinear ferromagnetic contacts. Our model allows us to study the implications of a non-ideal detector in an entanglement detection scheme.In Paper II, we investigate a scheme for generating and detecting orbitally entangled states in a device consisting of six quantum dots. The underlying process which enables our proposed scheme is sufficiently fast, even for the rapidly decaying quantum coherence of orbital states defined in a solid.In Paper III, we investigate a minimal entanglement detection scheme based on measurements of current cross correlations. We find a significant reduction in the number of measurements required for an entanglement test.In Paper IV, we investigate the optimisation of electrically controlling an electron spin in a gate defined semiconductor quantum dot. Specifically, we study how the shape of the quantum dot together with the direction of an in-plane magnetic field affect the spin relaxation rate and frequency of the induced Rabi oscillations.

SU(4) Kondo entanglement in double quantum dot devices

Rodrigo Bonazzola, J. A. Andrade, Jorge I. Facio +2 more

We analyze, from a quantum information theory perspective, the possibility of realizing an SU(4) entangled Kondo regime in semiconductor double quantum dot devices. We focus our analysis on the ground-state properties and consider the general experimental situation where the coupling parameters of the two quantum dots differ. We model each quantum dot with an Anderson-type Hamiltonian including an interdot Coulomb repulsion and tunnel couplings for each quantum dot to independent fermionic baths. We find that the spin and pseudospin entanglements can be made equal, and the SU(4) symmetry recovered, if the gate voltages are chosen in such a way that the average charge occupancies of the two quantum dots are equal, and the double occupancy on the double quantum dot is suppressed. We present density matrix renormalization group numerical results for the spin and pseudospin entanglement entropies, and analytical results for a simplified model that captures the main physics of the problem.

Linking confined electron spins through coherent light-matter interaction.

Robert Stockill

Electron spins confined to self-assembled quantum dots are considered as nodes for a coherent optical network capable of supporting distributed quantum states. Through a series of experiments, the work contributing to this dissertation examines some of the key criteria for constructing such a network. First, the ability to optically extract a coherent spin state from the quantum dot without perturbing the nuclear environment is explored: nuclear feedback is an issue that has frustrated previous studies into electron spin coherence in these systems. With the novel techniques we develop, we identify and characterise the previously undetermined intrinsic mechanisms that govern the coherence of the central spin. We show how the coherence of the electron spin is intimately related to the growth of these strained nanostructures. Second, a model network is constructed in which two spins confined to separate quantum dots are projected into a highly entangled state. This is the first time electron spins in distant quantum dots have been entangled, and in doing so we demonstrate controllable entanglement generation at the highest rates recorded for optically accessible qubit definitions. We investigate the realisation of a hybrid quantum network by demonstrating the first interconnect between wholly different single quantum systems: a semiconductor quantum dot and a trapped ytterbium ion. In forming an optical link between these two complementary qubit definitions, we show that we can circumvent their intrinsic optical differences through coherent photon generation at the quantum dot. A network built from these diverse constituents could combine the ultrafast operations self-assembled quantum dots enable with the long coherence times states in trapped ions experience. Finally, in a step towards truly scalable entanglement generation between quantum dot spins, we design minimally invasive structures that will funnel large proportions of the optical dipole field from the optically dense material that surrounds the quantum dot. The techniques developed in this work and the knowledge gained from their operation should enable the demonstration the creation of high-order nonlocal states between quantum dot spins, single photons and trapped ions, as well as the development of new optically active systems that will benefit from enhanced spin coherence.

Single spins in semiconductor quantum dot microcavities

Sven Höfling, Kristiaan De Greve, Peter L. McMahon +16 more

Semiconductor quantum dots can be utilized to capture single electron or hole spins and they have therewith promise for various applications in fields like spintronics, spin based quantum information processing and chiral photonics. We integrate quantum dots into semiconductor microcavities to enhance light-matter interaction for ultrafast optical manipulation and read-out. Single electron and single hole spins can be statistically or deterministically loaded into the quantum dots and coherently controlled. Within the about μs-coherence times of the spins about 105 complete single qubit rotations can be performed with ultrafast optical pulses. By utilizing a Λ-type energy level system of a single quantum-dot electron spin in a magnetic field and ultrafast non-linear frequency conversion, quantum-dot spin-photon entanglement is observed.

Entangled-photons generation with quantum dots

Yuan Li, Fei Ding, Oliver G. Schmidt

Entanglement between particles is a crucial resource in quantum information processing, an important example of which is the exploitation of entangled photons in quantum communication protocols. Among the different available sources of entangled photons, semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) excel owing to their deterministic emission properties, potential for electrical injections, and direct compatibility with semiconductor manufacturing techniques. Despite the great promises, QD-based sources are far from being ideal. In particular, such sources present several critical issues, which require the overcoming of challenges pertaining to spectral tunability, entanglement fidelity, photon indistinguishability and brightness. In this article, we will discuss the potential solutions to these problems and review the recent progress in the field.
