Decoherence Effects on the Generation of Exciton Entangled States in Coupled Quantum Dots

Abstract

We report on exciton-acoustic-phonon coupling effects on the generation of exciton maximally entangled states in N = 2 and 3 quantum dot systems. In particular, we address the question of the combined effect of laser pulses, appropriate for generating Bell and Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger entangled states, together with decoherence mechanisms as provided by a phonon reservoir. By solving numerically the master equation for the optically driven exciton–phonon kinetics, we show that the generation of maximally entangled exciton states is preserved over a reasonable parameter window.

Entangled Bell and Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger States of Excitons in Coupled Quantum Dots

Luis Quiroga, Neil F. Johnson

We show that excitons in coupled quantum dots are ideal candidates for reliable preparation of entangled states in solid-state systems. An optically controlled exciton transfer process is shown to lead to the generation of Bell and Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states in systems comprising two and three coupled dots, respectively. The strength and duration of selective light pulses for producing maximally entangled states are identified by both analytic and full numerical solution of the quantum dynamical equations. Experimental requirements to build such entangled states are discussed.

Quantum entanglement of excitons in coupled quantum dots

Ping Zhang, C. K. Chan, Qi‐Kun Xue +1 more

Optically controlled exciton dynamics in coupled quantum dots is studied. We show that the maximally entangled Bell states and Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states can be robustly generated by manipulating the system parameters to be at the avoided crossings in the eigenenergy spectrum. The analysis of population transfer is systematically carried out by using a dressed-state picture. In addition to the quantum dot configuration that has been discussed by Quiroga and Johnson [Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 2270 (1999)], we show that the GHZ states also may be produced in a ray of three quantum dots with a shorter generation time.

Quantum entanglement and information processing via excitons in optically driven quantum dots

John Henry Reina, Luis Quiroga, Neil F. Johnson

We show how optically driven coupled quantum dots can be used to prepare maximally entangled Bell and Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states. Manipulation of the strength and duration of the selective light pulses needed for producing these highly entangled states provides us with crucial elements for the processing of solid-state-based quantum information. Theoretical predictions suggest that several hundred single quantum bit rotations and controlled-NOT gates could be performed before decoherence of the excitonic states takes place.

Decoherence and quantum entangled exciton states in semiconductor quantum dot molecule

A. Hichri, S. Jaziri, R. Ferreira

Recently a pair of vertically aligned quantum dots has been suggested as optically driven quantum gate. The later is built when two different particles, an electron and a hole, are created optically. The two particles form entangled states. We study theoretically the dynamics of a single heavy hole exciton confined in a small vertically coupled quantum dot. We use harmonic potentials to model the confining of electrons and holes and calculate the exciton's energy spectrum using the Hund-Mulliken approach, and including the Coulomb interaction. The entanglement may be controlled by the application of external electric field. At certain times of dynamical evolution one can generate a maximally entangled coherent exciton state by initially preparing the quantum dots in a superposition of coherent state. In ideal situations, entangled quantum states would not decohere during processing and transmission of quantum information. However, a real quantum system is inevitably influenced by its environment. Since, we study the decoherence effect caused by the interaction of the confined carriers with the acoustic phonon effects. (© 2004 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Phonon-assisted decoherence in coupled quantum dots

Alagu Thilagam, Max A. Lohe

We analyse various phonon-assisted mechanisms which contribute to the decoherence of excitonic qubits in quantum dot systems coupled by the Förster-type transfer process. We show the significant loss of coherence accompanied by dissipation due to charge carrier oscillations between qubit states by using a model of one-phonon assisted Förster-type transfer process. We obtain explicit expressions for the relaxation and dephasing times for excitonic qubits interacting with acoustic phonons via both deformation potential and piezoelectric coupling. We compare the decoherence times of the GaAs/AlGaAs material system with half times of concurrence decay in a 2$\otimes$2 bipartite mixed excitonic qubit system. We extend calculations to determine the influence of phonon mediated interactions on the non-unitary evolution of Berry phase in quantum dot systems.

Probing bath-induced entanglement in a qubit pair by measuring photon correlations

Ovidiu Cotleţ, Brendon W. Lovett

Self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) are ideal structures in which to test theories of open quantum systems: confined exciton states can be coherently manipulated and their decoherence properties are dominated by interactions with acoustic phonons. We here describe the interaction of a pair of un-coupled, driven, QD excitons with a common phonon environment, and find that this coupling effectively generates two kinds of interaction between the two QDs: an elastic coupling mediated by virtual phonons and an inelastic coupling mediated by real phonons. We show that both of these interactions produce steady state entanglement between the two QD excitons. We also show that photon correlations in the emission of the QDs can provide a signature of the common environment. Experiments to demonstrate our predictions are feasible with the state-of-the-art technology and would provide valuable insight into QD carrier–phonon dynamics.
