Abstract

We describe the mechanism of phonon-induced dynamical dephasing of an exciton confined in a quantum dot and discuss methods of reducing the dephasing effect by appropriately tailored driving.

Phonon-Induced Dephasing of Optically Driven Exciton States in Quantum Dots: Spectral Interpretation

Paweł Machnikowski, Lucjan Jacak

We discuss phonon-induced perturbation of optically driven coherent dynamics of a confined exciton in a quantum dot in terms of nonlinear spectra of the driving pulse.Damping of pulse-area-dependent Rabi oscillations and phonon-assisted pumping of optically inactive states are analyzed.

Suppression of exciton dephasing in quantum dots through ultrafast multipulse control

Hodgson, Thomas E., Lorenza Viola, Irene D’Amico

We investigate the usefulness and viability of the scheme developed by Viola and Lloyd [Phys. Rev. A 58, 2733 (1998)] to control dephasing in the context of exciton-based quantum computation with self-assembled quantum dots. We demonstrate that optical coherence of a confined exciton qubit exposed to phonon-induced dephasing can be substantially enhanced through the application of a simple periodic sequence of control pulses. The shape of the quantum dot has a significant effect on the dephasing properties. Remarkably, we find that quantum dots with parameters optimized for implementing quantum computation are among the most susceptible to dephasing, yet periodic decoupling is most efficient for exactly that type of dot. We also show that the presence of an electric field, which is a necessary ingredient for many exciton-based quantum computing schemes, may further increase the control efficiency. Our results suggest that dynamical decoupling may be a method of choice for robust storage of exciton qubits during idle stages of quantum algorithms.

Quantum Control of Electron-Phonon Scatterings in Artificial Atoms

Ulrich Hohenester, Georg Stadler

The phonon-induced dephasing dynamics in optically excited semiconductor quantum dots is studied within the frameworks of the independent boson model and optimal control. We show that appropriate tailoring of laser pulses allow complete control of the optical excitation despite the phonon dephasing, a finding in marked contrast to other environment couplings.

Optical control and decoherence of spin qubits in quantum dots

Paweł Machnikowski, Anna Grodecka, Weber, Carsten +1 more

We discuss various methods of all-optical spin control in semiconductor quantum dots. We present different ways of rotating a single confined electron spin by optical coupling to a trion state. We also discuss a method for controlling the polarization of a confined exciton via a two-photon transition. Finally, we analyze the effect of phonon-induced decoherence on the fidelity of these optical spin control protocols.

Which wayinterpretation of the dephasing of charge qubits in quantum dots

Katarzyna Roszak, Paweł Machnikowski, Lucjan Jacak

We show that phonon-induced dephasing of exciton states confined in a quantum dot may be interpreted in terms of which way information transferred from the carrier system to the lattice environment. Using distinguishability of quantum states as a measure for this information transfer we cast this interpretation in the form of a quantitative complementarity relation.

Phonon Dephasing of the Exciton in InAs / GaAs Quantum Dots

Andrzej Janutka, Lucjan Jacak, J. Krasnyj +1 more

The interaction of a exciton confined in a semiconductor quantum dot (QD) with bulk phonons (acoustical and optical) responsible for the exciton dephasing is studied. The decoherence of the exciton due to the creation of a polaron with long-living or decaying phonons is described. Characteristic dephasing times for an InAs / GaAs QD are estimated using Green function methods in order to determine fundamental time limitations for use of the QD exciton in quantum information processing.
