We report coherent optical control of a biexciton (two electron-hole pairs), confined in a single quantum dot, that shows coherent oscillations similar to the excited-state Rabi flopping in an isolated atom. The pulse control of the biexciton dynamics, combined with previously demonstrated control of the single-exciton Rabi rotation, serves as the physical basis for a two-bit conditional quantum logic gate. The truth table of the gate shows the features of an all-optical quantum gate with interacting yet distinguishable excitons as qubits. Evaluation of the fidelity yields a value of 0.7 for the gate operation. Such experimental capability is essential to a scheme for scalable quantum computation by means of the optical control of spin qubits in dots.

Coherent control in semiconductor quantum dots: Reduced optical gain thresholds via biexciton control

David Gerbasi, Gregory D. Scholes, Paul W. Brumer

Coherent control theory is used to show that one can manipulate biexciton vs exciton populations in semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) in a typical dissipative environment. Both aligned and randomly oriented quantum dots are considered, and population control is shown to be considerable. An application to CdSe QD shows that the proposed coherent control scenario results in a significant reduction in pump intensity for the onset of optical gain.
