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.

Effects of biexcitons on exciton decoherence processes in InxGa1−xAs quantum dots

Hideki Gotoh, Hidehiko Kamada, Tadashi Saitoh +2 more

Exciton decoherence (dephasing) properties are examined for the effects of biexcitons in ${\mathrm{In}}_{x}{\mathrm{Ga}}_{1\ensuremath{-}x}\mathrm{As}$ quantum dots. The dephasing time of higher exciton states is measured from the linewidths of discrete exciton absorption lines by employing a high-energy-resolution microphotoluminescence excitation method in single isolated quantum dots. The excitation intensity dependence and temperature dependence of the exciton linewidth are used to consider the effects of exciton-biexciton and exciton-phonon interactions. The excitation intensity dependence reveals that the exciton-biexciton interaction contributes crucially to the exciton dephasing processes. A numerical calculation undertaken with a density-matrix method interprets this result as an enhancement of the power broadening effect due to coherent coupling between excitons and biexcitons. The temperature dependence indicates that the exciton-biexciton interaction dominates the exciton-phonon interaction below 40 K. These results provide a guideline for achieving a long-lived coherence in quantum dots, which is a key to the implementation of quantum information processing.

Excitonic and biexcitonic decoherence in self-assembled GaAs quantum dots as observed by phase-locked interferography

K. Kuroda, Takashi Kuroda, Kazuaki Sakoda +3 more

We observe single-photon interferograms for emission of a single self-assembled GaAs quantum dot. A phase stabilizer is applied to the interferometer, enabling us to trace autocorrelations of weak emissions with a photon-counting level. At low excitation, where the average number of excitons in a dot is less than one, interferography reveals a single exponential decay, reflecting excitonic decoherence. At moderately high excitation, polarization interference between the exciton-biexciton transitions is found to appear on the interferogram. The decoherence time and the binding energy of biexcitons are determined simultaneously.
