Quantum dot arrays in silicon and germanium [PDF]
Electrons and holes confined in quantum dots define an excellent building block for quantum emergence, simulation, and computation. In order for quantum electronics to become practical, large numbers of quantum dots will be required, necessitating the ...

Efficient Quantum Dot−Quantum Dot and Quantum Dot−Dye Energy Transfer in Biotemplated Assemblies [PDF]
CdSe semiconductor nanocrystal quantum dots are assembled into nanowire-like arrays employing microtubule fibers as nanoscale molecular "scaffolds." Spectrally and time-resolved energy-transfer analysis is used to assess the assembly of the nanoparticles into the hybrid inorganic biomolecular structure. Specifically, we demonstrate that a comprehensive

Polar optical phonons in wurtzite spheroidal quantum dots: Theory and application to ZnO and ZnO/MgZnO nanostructures [PDF]
Polar optical-phonon modes are derived analytically for spheroidal quantum dots with wurtzite crystal structure. The developed theory is applied to a freestanding spheroidal ZnO quantum dot and to a spheroidal ZnO quantum dot embedded into a MgZnO crystal. The wurtzite (anisotropic) quantum dots are shown to have strongly different polar optical-phonon

Loading a quantum-dot based “Qubyte” register [PDF]
Electrostatically defined quantum dot arrays offer a compelling platform for quantum computation and simulation. However, tuning up such arrays with existing techniques becomes impractical when going beyond a handful of quantum dots.

Elimination of Bimodal Size in InAs/GaAs Quantum Dots for Preparation of 1.3-μm Quantum Dot Lasers
The device characteristics of semiconductor quantum dot lasers have been improved with progress in active layer structures. Self-assembly formed InAs quantum dots grown on GaAs had been intensively promoted in order to achieve quantum dot lasers with ...

Improving Intrinsic Decoherence in Multi-Quantum-Dot Charge Qubits [PDF]
We discuss decoherence in charge qubits formed by multiple lateral quantum dots in the framework of the spin-boson model and the Born-Markov approximation. We consider the intrinsic decoherence caused by the coupling to bulk phonon modes. Two distinct quantum dot configurations are studied: (i) Three quantum dots in a ring geometry with one excess ...

Ultrafast Field-driven Valley Polarization of Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Quantum Dots [PDF]
We study theoretically the electron dynamics of transition metal dichalcogenide quantum dots in the field of an ultrashort and ultrafast circularly polarized optical pulse. The quantum dots have the shape of a disk and their electron systems are described within an effective model with infinite mass boundary conditions.
