Unusual properties and control of the initial decoherence in quantum dots

V. M. Axt

Published Dec 10, 2005• 0 citations

Abstract

Pure dephasing is a genuine quantum kinetic process resulting in a nonexponential decay of optical signals with an unusual nonmonotonous temperature dependence of the decay time. The coherent controllability of the initial decoherence is demonstrated.

Nonmonotonous temperature dependence of the initial decoherence in quantum dots

Alexei Vagov, V. M. Axt, T. Kühn +3 more

We have analyzed the initial decoherence of strongly confined semiconductor quantum dots by performing four-wave-mixing experiments and comparing with theory. The measurements are in quantitative agreement with analytical results accounting for the pure dephasing induced by acoustic phonons. The experiments confirm the recent prediction of an unusual nonmonotonous temperature dependence of the initial decoherence time.

Observation of an unusual temperature dependence of the initial decoherence time in quantum dots

V. M. Axt, T. Kühn, Alexei Vagov +3 more

We report on four-wave-mixing experiments in self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots and compare with a theory that accounts for the pure-dephasing induced by acoustic phonons. The measurements demonstrate an unusual non-monotonous temperature dependence of the initial decoherence time in full agreement with previous theoretical predictions made on the basis of a model that concentrates on the lowest electronic states. For samples exhibiting strong electronic confinement this model even yields a good quantitative agreement with the experiments while for less confined samples there are some systematic deviations although many qualitative features are still well reproduced by the model.

Theory of Exciton Coherence and Decoherence in Semiconductor Quantum Dots

T. Takagahara

We discuss the Rabi splitting and Rabi oscillation of excitons in semiconductor quantum dots and clarify the fundamental physics and new characteristic features. These coherent optical phenomena are not restricted to semiconductor quantum dots and the predicted features would be observed also in atoms and molecules. The universality of the phenomena ensures the possibility for application to quantum state control and quantum information processing by optical means. We discuss briefly the mechanisms of exciton dephasing in semiconductor quantum dots in conjunction with recent observations of the lifetime-limited exciton dephasing time and show that the pure dephasing rate is very small but is not vanishing even at zero Kelvin.

Decoherence of the Exciton and Decay of the Excitonic Polaron in Quantum Dots

Andrzej Janutka, Lucjan Jacak, J. Krasnyj +2 more

Bulk-phonon mechanisms of decoherence of an exciton confined in a quantum dot (QD) are considered in order to establish time limitations for the coherent control of the exciton with relevance to its application in quantum information processing. These are the formation and decay of the excitonic polaron. The estimations of characteristic dephasing times for the InAs/GaAs QD are discussed.

Pure dephasing induced by exciton-phonon interactions in GaAs quantum dots

Hailin Wang, Xudong Fan, T. Takagahara +1 more

Summary form only given.We report studies of exciton dephasing in quantum dot (QD)-like islands in narrow GaAs quantum wells (QWs). Using three pulse transient four-wave mixing (FWM), we compare dephasing rates directly with population decay rates. This comparison reveals a pure dephasing process that dominates excitonic dephasing at elevated temperatures but does not involve exciton population relaxation.

The impact of phonon-assisted tunneling on optical and quantum characteristics of a coupled two-quantum dot system

Santiago Echeverri-Arteaga, Herbert Vinck-Posada, Edgar A. Gómez

This work investigates the impact of decoherence induced by pure dephasing and phonon-assisted tunneling mechanisms on the optical and quantum properties of two quantum dots. Special attention is given to the density matrix at steady state, and a detailed analysis of populations, coherences, optical transitions and the emission spectrum is performed. Additionally, we study the influence of both phonon-decoherence mechanisms on bipartite entanglement and the degree of mixedness of the system. In particular, our findings indicate that the phonon-assisted tunneling mechanism partially affects the coherences of the system and quantum properties when the imbalance of phonon absorption and emission is significant. Conversely, the pure dephasing mechanism does not affect the populations but strongly entangles the quantum dots and the reservoir, inducing maximally mixed states and significantly reducing the spectral splitting in the emission spectrum of the system.
