Abstract

The authors report on an approach to detect excitonic qubits in semiconductor quantum dots by observing spontaneous emissions from the relevant qubit level. The ground state of excitons is resonantly excited by picosecond optical pulses. Emissions from the same state are temporally resolved with picosecond time resolution. To capture weak emissions, the authors greatly suppress the elastic scattering of excitation beams, by applying obliquely incident geometry to the microphotoluminescence setup. Rabi oscillations of the ground-state excitons appear to be involved in the dependence of emission intensity on excitation amplitude.

Single quantum dot emission after resonant excitation

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

Photoluminescence from a single semiconductor quantum dot after perfect resonant excitation has been temporally resolved with picosecond time resolution. Making use of non-confocal geometry for the micro photoluminescence setup, we can greatly remove the elastic scattering component, and successfully capture the resonantly-excited spontaneous emission from a single quantum dot. The emission intensity as a function of coherent photoinjection shows peculiar oscillatory dependence, i.e., Rabi oscillations of ground-state excitons. The transition strength of the groundstate exciton is precisely determined through the analysis. The value indicates a good agreement with that expected by the radiative decay rate of the quantum dots.

Readout of a qubit final state by observing exciton spontaneous emissions after resonant excitation

K. Kuroda, Takashi Kuroda, Kazuaki Sakoda +2 more

We observed spontaneous emissions from a single quantum dot to read out a final state of an exciton qubit. To capture weak emissions from quantum dots, the reflection of an excitation laser were reduced by applying obliquely incident geometry and crossed polarization configuration. Rabi oscillations were observed in the emissions.

Resonantly excited emissions from a GaAs quantum dot and an exciton dipole moment

K. Kuroda, Takashi Kuroda, Kazuaki Sakoda +2 more

We report on observation of spontaneous emissions from a single quantum dot after resonant excitation. To capture weak emissions from a single quantum dot, reflection of an excitation laser was reduced by applying obliquely incident geometry and crossed polarization configuration. In addition, collected emissions were temporally resolved to be separated from residual reflection. These allowed us to realize a simple manipulation and read out of an exciton qubit. We observed an exciton Rabi oscillation in excitation amplitude dependence of the emission intensity. We determined an exciton dipole moment from the Rabi oscillation and from the emission decay time, independently. Comparison between the two values shows reasonable agreement.

Resonant excitonic emission of a single quantum dot in the Rabi regime

Romain Melet, V. Voliotis, Alexandre Enderlin +4 more

We report on coherent resonant emission of the fundamental exciton state in a single semiconductor GaAs quantum dot. A resonant regime with picosecond laser excitation is realized by embedding the quantum dots in a one-dimensional waveguiding structure. As the pulse intensity is increased, Rabi oscillation is observed up to three periods. The Rabi regime is achieved owing to an enhanced light-matter coupling in the waveguide but with different dynamics with respect to usual cavity quantum electrodynamics. The resonant control of the quantum dot fundamental transition opens new possibilities in quantum state manipulation and quantum optics experiments in condensed-matter physics.

Resonantly driven exciton Rabi oscillation in single quantum dots emitting at 1300 nm

Yongzhou Xue, Zesheng Chen, Haiqiao Ni +4 more

We report on the resonance fluorescence (RF) from single InAs quantum dots (QDs) emitting at the telecom band of 1300 nm. The InAs/GaAs QDs are embedded in a planar optical microcavity and the RF is measured by an orthogonal excitation-detection geometry for deeply suppressing the residual laser scattering. An ultra-weak He–Ne laser is necessary to be used as a gate laser for obtaining RF. Rabi oscillation with more than one period is observed through the picosecond (ps) pulsed laser excitation. The resonant control of exciton opens up new possibilities for realizing the on-demand single photon emission and quantum manipulation of solid-state qubits at telecom band.

The Resonant Fluorescence of a Single InAs Quantum Dot in a Cavity

Xiuming Dou, Ying Yu, Baoquan Sun +3 more

We report the coherent resonant emission of the exciton state in a single InAs quantum dot, embedded in a planar optical microcavity. The quantum dot is excited by a laser beam from the cleaved sample edge, and the resonant fluorescence is collected in the direction perpendicular to the excitation laser beam, so the residual laser scattering can be deeply suppressed. This experimental setup enables us to observe Rabi oscillation and a Mollow triplet with Rabi energy up to about 27 μeV.
