A two-photon process leading to coherent transitions between the two circularly polarized exciton states in a quantum dot is studied. It is shown that optical flipping of the exciton polarization is possible with picosecond laser pulses. The process is closely related to two-photon Rabi oscillations of a biexciton but it is much more stable against shifts of the laser frequency.

Phonon-induced dephasing of two-electron spin states in two vertically stacked self-assembled GaAs/InGaAs quantum dots is studied. A pure dephasing process due to elastic phonon scattering is found to dominate at low temperatures. This process is independent of the spin-orbit coupling and does not require the presence of a magnetic field. It relies on interdot tunneling and the Pauli principle, which make the double quantum dot gate for spin based quantum computing possible, and therefore cannot be avoided.

We calculate phonon-assisted relaxation rates in a self-assembled quantum dot molecule. The calculation is based on wave functions obtained within an envelope function approach, including strain effects. The single-phonon relaxation is shown to be efficient for separations between the dots around 10 nm when, in addition, the dots are brought close to resonance.

We calculate the linear optical response from a single quantum dot molecule and the nonlinear, four-wave-mixing response from an inhomogeneously broadened ensemble of such molecules. We show that both optical signals are affected by the coupling-dependent superradiance effect and by optical interference between the two polarizations. As a result, the linear and nonlinear responses are not identical.

We study a simple theoretical model of multiple exciton generation by a single high-energy photon absorbed in an InAs nanocrystal. We calculate the Coulomb matrix element for the electron-trion coupling in an InAs nanocrystal and show that due to the resulting coupling between single-pair and two-pair states the latter becomes weakly optically active.

We study the spontaneous emission from a coherently delocalized exciton state in a double quantum dot as a function of the distance between the dots, focusing on the similarities and differences between the cases of radiative (long-range, dipole) and tunnel coupling between the excitons in the dots. We show that there may be no qualitative difference between the collective emission induced by these two coupling types in spite of their essentially different physical properties.

We study the electron states of a chain of non-identical, vertically stacked quantum dots. We discuss how the pseudo-band formed of the ground states confined in the quantum dots disintegrates upon increasing the inhomogeneity of the electron energies and analyze the impact of localization on the intraband absorption from the pseudo-band to extended (bulk) states. We describe also the dependence of the intraband absorption spectrum on the quantum dot size.

We propose a quantum dot implementation of a quantum state transfer channel. The proposed channel consists of N vertically stacked quantum dots with the nearest neighbor tunnel coupling, placed in an axial electric field. We show that the system supports high-fidelity transfer of the state of a terminal dot both by free evolution and by adiabatic transfer. The protocol is to a large extent insensitive to inhomogeneity of the energy parameters of the dots and requires only a global electric field.

We define the collective logical quantum bit as a state on an array of 2, 4, and 8 quantum dots. We show that such an array can be controlled with less phonon-induced pure dephasing than a single dot. We calculate the dephasing accompanying a single-qubit operation on the collective logical qubit by means of perturbative method describing the open system evolution under arbitrary driving.

We discuss phonon-induced perturbation of optically driven coherent dynamics of a confined exciton in a quantum dot in terms of nonlinear spectra of the driving pulse. Damping of pulse-area-dependent Rabi oscillations and phonon-assisted pumping of optically inactive states are analyzed.

We study the spontaneous emission from a regular lateral array or a randomly distributed ensemble of quantum dots under strong excitation (full inversion) conditions. We focus on the similarities and differences between the cases of random and regular arrangement of the dots and show that there is very little difference between the evolution of luminescence in these two cases, both for identical dots and for a realistically inhomogeneously broadened ensemble. This means that the enhanced emission or superradiance effect is not due to accidental clustering of pairs of dots. Moreover, we point out that observation of an enhanced emission under weak excitation does not prove that true superradiance will develop in a fully inverted system.

We present a theoretical analysis of the phonon-assisted relaxation in a system composed of two self-assembled vertically stacked quantum dots. We construct realistic model, which takes into account the geometry and strain distribution in the system. We calculate phonon-assisted relaxation rates between the two lowest states (in one- and two-electron cases). The relaxation rates and energy levels are studied as a function of external (axial) electric field and geometry of the structure (dot sizes). We show that the relaxation times can be as low as 1 ps but efficient relaxation occurs only for very finely tuned dots.

We derive a quantum-kinetic description of phonon-assisted Förster transfer between two coupled quantum dots (a quantum dot molecule). We show that the exciton state decays to the ground state of the quantum dot molecule via a combination of the Rabi rotation and exponential decay. For moderately spaced dots this process takes place on a picosecond timescale.

We study theoretically the nonlinear four-wave mixing response of an ensemble of coupled pairs of quantum dots (quantum dot molecules). We discuss the shape of the echo signal depending on the parameters of the ensemble: the statistics of transition energies and the degree of size correlations between the dots forming the molecules.

Carrier Spin Dephasing during Spin-Preserving Tunneling in Coupled Quantum Dots

In this contribution we study carrier tunneling in a system consisting of a pair of coupled quantum dots. We predict the presence of a spin dephasing channel in such a system, which is associated with a "welcher-weg" type of decoherence process occurring during carrier tunneling. In our model such a process is caused by a mismatch of g-factor values in two quantum dots in the presence of external magnetic field. This leads to a mismatch in spin Zeeman splitting between the dots and, in consequence, to the distinguishability of phonons emitted during the tunneling of carriers with opposite spins. Thus we demonstrate a process of spin dephasing without any direct spin-environment coupling present in the model.

We discuss pure dephasing of singlet-triplet superpositions in two-electron double quantum dots due to elastic phonon scattering. We generalize our previous results to a system built of two non-identical dots. We show that the asymmetry must be very strong in order to considerably affect the dephasing rate.

Exciton spin decay is studied in a self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dot. The spin relaxation results from an interplay of two factors: the Bir-Pikus Hamiltonian and the short-range exchange interaction, leading to one and two phonon assisted transitions. We establish a hierarchy between the resulting transition rates and show the dominating role of transverse phonons for all the transitions.

In this report we have investigated theoretically the phonon-assisted recombination process of excitons confined in strongly elongated semiconductor nanostructures, called quantum dashes. Interaction with phonon bath leads to the occurrence of phonon-assisted recombination, which in the case of acoustic phonons is manifested in the optical spectra as a deviation of the homogeneously broadened emission line shape from expected Lorentzian profile via occurrence of the so-called phonon sidebands. Hereby, we have modeled the influence of the quantum dash geometry on this spectral feature proving pronounced suppression of phonon-induced decoherence for strongly elongated nanostructures. Furthermore, the importance of different phonon coupling mechanisms has been evaluated and the spectral diffusion effects, unavoidable in the time-integrated photoluminescence experiments, have been accounted for.

We study the evolution of a quantum state of a double quantum dot system interacting with the electromagnetic environment and with the lattice modes, in the presence of a coupling between the two dots. We propose a unified approach to the simulation of the system evolution under joint impact of the two reservoirs. We discuss the sub- and superradiant radiative decay of the system, the phonon-induced decay of entanglement between the dots, and the transfer of excitation between them.
