Controlled Dephasing of a Quantum Dot Resonance

Abstract

We couple electrons passing through a two-slit interferometer to electrons tunneling through a Fabry-Perot interferometer (a quantum dot) at resonance, and demonstrate that the mutual detection of these interferometer currents dephases and suppresses the resonance.

Emission Spectroscopy of InGaAs Quantum Dots via High-resolution Fabry-Perot Interferometer

Raju Bhai KC

Single photons emitted from self-assembled quantum dots have been widely studied to use as a promising qubit for quantum information processing. Therefore, it is critical to fully understand the emission spectra from the quantum dot's excitation if we want to use a single photon as a quantum bit. It is almost impossible to produce rotationally symmetric quantum dots due to various growth conditions and restrictions. So the real quantum dots do not have a perfectly symmetric structure. A broken rotational symmetry causes an asymmetric exchange interaction between electron and hole, leading to a fine structure splitting between two excited states. The energy structure of a neutral InGaAs self-assembled quantum dot can be envisioned as a V-shaped energy diagram. A three-level V-system gives Mollow septuplets or Mollow quintuplets depending upon the frequency of the excitation laser. The main focus of this dissertation is to design a tunable optical filter to explore Mollow septuplets and Mollow quintuplets. A grating spectrometer cannot resolve an emission spectrum of a semiconductor quantum dot (QD) due to its limited resolution. Typical frequency separations between features in the emission spectrum of a typical InGaAs quantum dots are 2-10 GHz, while the best resolution available for a commercial spectrometer is about 9 GHz. The solution is to use a Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) as a tunable optical filter. This technique demands precise control of the distance between the two FPI mirrors. One way to control the length of the FPI cavity is to use an optical feedback method to lock the cavity using a costly tunable, stabilized reference laser. Here we adopt an alternative approach that uses an inexpensive, single-frequency laser and spatial interference patterns to lock different interferometer designs. We mechanically connect the FPI cavity to a secondary cavity called a Shearing Interferometer (SI) that is actively stabilized by a simple and inexpensive optical feedback method.

Quantum Dynamics of Coupled Quantum-Dot Qubits and Dephasing Effects Induced by Detections

Ping Sheng, Zikang Tang

Recently, the investigations on the coherent tunnelling in a coupled quantum-dot (QD) system have carried out both experimentally (Blick et al., 1998, and Oosterkamp et al., 1998), and theoretically (Tsukada et al., 1997, and Wu et al., 2000). However, all of these studies did not take the influence of the measurement into account. It is well known that measurement itself will certainly induce dephasing. This effect was studied (Aleiner et at., 1997, Levinson, 1997, and E. Buks et al., 1998) in detail. Also, Gurvitz et al. (1996, 1997) derived modified rate equations and studied the dephasing effect induced by measuring the electron state in a coupled QD system via a quantum point contact.

Controlled Dephasing of an Electron Interferometer with a Path Detector at Equilibrium

E. Weisz, Hyung Kook Choi, Moty Heiblum +3 more

Controlled dephasing of electrons, via "which path" detection, involves, in general, coupling a coherent system to a current driven noise source. However, here we present a case in which a nearly isolated electron puddle within a quantum dot, at thermal equilibrium and in millikelvin range temperature, fully dephases the interference in a nearby electronic interferometer. Moreover, the complete dephasing is accompanied by an abrupt π phase slip, which is robust and nearly independent of system parameters. Attributing the robustness of the phenomenon to the Friedel sum rule--which relates a system's occupation to its scattering phases--proves the universality of this powerful rule. The experiment allows us to peek into a nearly isolated quantum dot, which cannot be accessed via conductance measurements.

rf-electrometer using a carbon nanotube resonant tunneling transistor

Lorenz Lechner, Fan Wu, R. Danneau +2 more

We have studied resonant tunneling transistors (RTT) made of single-walled carbon nanotube quantum dots in the Fabry–Pérot regime. We show sensitivity to input charge as high as 5×10−6 e/Hz1/2 with a carrier frequency of 719 MHz at 4.2 K. This result is comparable to the best values of charge sensitivity so far reported for radio frequency single electron transistors (rf-SET). Unlike SETs, whose operating temperature is limited as Coulomb blockade vanishes as 1/T, a RTT can operate at higher temperatures, since the dephasing length lϕ∝1/T2/3.
