A simple model based on the effective-mass method and treating a quantum dot as a small irregularity of the periodic crystal field is developed and used for the description of the radiative recombination of an exciton captured in that quasi-zero-dimensional structure. The additional peaks appearing in the photoluminescence spectra at the critical quantum dot size are predicted as a consequence of the metastable excited states occurring in the energy spectrum of a confined exciton. The obtained dependence of the photoluminescence spectrum on the dot size and magnetic field reproduces well the available experimental results.
The discussion of qubit for quantum computation in quantum dots technology is presented. The state-of-the-art structure of multi-electron dot is considered and the appropriate quasi-two-level system is suggested employing the singlet-triplet transition in the presence of magnetic field. The methods of qubit rotation (the write procedure) as well as two-qubit operations, as controlled-NOT, in vertically stacked dots system are analysed.
