Abstract

We demonstrate a spin-selective modification to the energy structure of a charged quantum dot using the AC Stark effect. This mechanism offers a potentially rapid, reversible, and coherent control of the energy structure.

Enhanced coherent control of spin states in a quantum dot using the AC Stark effect

Josiah Ethan Hsi

The coherent control of carrier spin states in semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) is a key requirement for certain quantum information applications, particularly where lightmatter interactions are involved such as in the generation of spin-photon entangled states. A widely used approach for spin control involves Larmor precession in an externally applied magnetic field. Increasing the magnetic field strength enhances the spin precession rate, thus improving the photon generation rate. However, this also introduces Zeeman splitting, which lifts the spin-state degeneracy. As a result frequency distinguishability is introduced, reducing the fidelity of the entangled spinphoton states. This work explores a novel approach to mitigate the Zeeman splitting by employing the AC Stark effect via a red-detuned laser. The Stark shift counteracts the Zeeman energy difference, effectively restoring transition degeneracy within the transition linewidth while allowing for an increased magnetic field strength and consequently a faster precession rate. Theoretical modelling demonstrates that this technique enables an almost doubling of the current spin precession frequency while maintaining nearly degenerate optical transitions. To validate this approach, a high-precision optical system is under development to probe QD emission under simultaneous magnetic and optical fields. Simulations incorporating both effects confirm the feasibility of this method for eliminating frequency distinguishability. These results lay the groundwork for the development of scalable quantum dot-based photonic platforms for quantum communication and information processing.

Theory of ultrafast optical manipulation of electron spins in quantum wells

Jinshuang Jin, Xin-Qi Li

Based on a multiparticle-state stimulated Raman adiabatic passage approach, a comprehensive theoretical study of the ultrafast optical manipulation of electron spins in quantum wells is presented. In addition to corroborating experimental findings [Gupta et al., Science 292, 2458 (2001)], we improve the expression for the optical-pulse-induced effective magnetic field, in comparison with the one obtained via the conventional single-particle ac Stark shift. Further study of the effect of hole-spin relaxation reveals that, while the coherent optical manipulation of electron spin in undoped quantum wells would deteriorate in the presence of relatively fast hole-spin relaxation, the coherent control in doped systems can be quite robust against decoherence. The implications of the present results on quantum dots will also be discussed.
