Zeno Quantum Gates in Semiconductor Quantum Dots

K. J. Xu, Y. P. Huang, M. G. Moore, C. Piermarocchi

英文摘要：

We propose a scheme for a two-qubit conditional phase gate by quantum Zeno effect with semiconductor quantum dots. The system consists of two charged dots and one ancillary dot that can perform Rabi oscillations under a resonant laser pulse. The quantum Zeno effect is induced by phonon-assisted exciton relaxation between the ancillary dot and the charged dots, which is equivalent to a continuous measurement. We solve analytically the master equation and simulate the dynamics of the system using a realistic set of parameters. In contrast to standard schemes, larger phonon relaxation rates increase the fidelity of the operations.

Giant Stark effect in the emission of single semiconductor quantum dots

We study the quantum-confined Stark effect in single InAs/GaAs quantum dots embedded within a AlGaAs/GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well. By significantly increasing the barrier height we can observe emission from a dot at electric fields of -500 kV/cm, leading to Stark shifts of up to 25 meV. Our results suggest this technique may enable future applications that require self-assembled dots with transitions at the same energy.

Complete spin polarization of electrons in semiconductor layers and quantum dots

We demonstrate that non-equilibrium electrons in thin nonmagnetic semiconductor layers or quantum dots can be fully spin polarized by means of simultaneous electrical spin injection and extraction. The complete spin polarization is achieved if the thin layers or quantum dots are placed between two ferromagnetic metal contacts with moderate spin injection coefficients and antiparallel magnetizations. The sign of the spin polarization is determined by the direction of the current. Aplications of this effect in spintronics and quantum information processing are discussed.

Lamb shift of interactive electron-hole pairs in spherical semiconductor quantum dots

The ground state Lamb shift of a semiconductor spherical Quantum Dot is computed in the effective mass approximation. It appears to be significant enough to be detectable for a wide range of small Quantum Dots synthesized in semiconductors. A possible way to bserve it, via the Casimir effect, is suggested.

Universal shapes of self-organized semiconductor quantum dots

The model systems for self-organized quantum dots formed from elemental and compound semiconductors, namely Ge grown on Si(001) and InAs on GaAs(001), are comparatively studied by scanning tunneling microscopy. It is shown that in both material combinations only two well-defined families of faceted and defect-free nanocrystals exist (and coexist). These three-dimensional islands, pyramids and domes, show common morphological characteristics, independently of the specific material system. A universal behavior is further demonstrated in the capping-passivation process that turns the nanocrystals…

Bidirectional wavelength tuning of semiconductor quantum dots as artificial atoms in an optical resonator

We consider a pair of artificial atoms with different ground state energies. By means of finite element calculations we predict that the ground state energies can be tuned into resonance if the artificial atoms are placed into a flexible ring structure, which is elastically deformed by an external force. This concept is experimentally verified by embedding a low density of self-assembled quantum dots into the wall of a rolled up micro tube ring resonator. We demonstrate that quantum dots can elastically be tuned in- and out of resonance with each other or with the ring resonator modes.

Asymmetric exchange between electron spins in coupled semiconductor quantum dots

We obtain a microscopic description of the interaction between electron spins in bulk semiconductors and in pairs of semiconductor quantum dots. Treating the k.p band mixing and the Coulomb interaction on the same footing, we obtain in the third order an asymmetric contribution to the exchange interaction arising from the coupling between the spin of one electron and the relative orbital motion of the other. This contribution does not depend on the inversion asymmetry of the crystal. We find that it is ~0.001 of the isotropic exchange, which is of interest in quantum information. Detailed eval…

Hole spin relaxation in semiconductor quantum dots

Hole spin relaxation time due to the hole-acoustic phonon scattering in GaAs quantum dots confined in quantum wells along (001) and (111) directions is studied after the exact diagonalization of Luttinger Hamiltonian. Different effects such as strain, magnetic field, quantum dot diameter, quantum well width and the temperature on the spin relaxation time are investigated thoroughly. Many features which are quite different from the electron spin relaxation in quantum dots and quantum wells are presented with the underlying physics elaborated.

Observation of a Long-Range Interaction between Semiconductor Quantum Dots

We demonstrate electromagnetic interaction between distant quantum dots (QDs), as is observed from transient pump-probe differential reflectivity measurements. The QD-exciton lifetime is measured as a function of the probe photon energy and shows a strong resonant behavior with respect to the QD density of states. The observed exciton lifetime spectrum reveals a subradiance-like coupling between the QD, with a 12 times enhancement of the lifetime at the center of the ground state transition. This effect is due to a mutual electromagnetic coupling between resonant QDs, which extends over distan…

Semiconductor nanostructures engineering: Pyramidal quantum dots

Pyramidal quantum dots (QDs) grown in inverted recesses have demonstrated over the years an extraordinary uniformity, high spectral purity and strong design versatility. We discuss recent results, also in view of the Stranski-Krastanow competition and give evidence for strong perspectives in quantum information applications for this system. We examine the possibility of generating entangled and indistinguishable photons, together with the need for the implementation of a, regrettably still missing, strategy for electrical control.

Decoherence processes during active manipulation of excitonic qubits in semiconductor quantum dots

Using photoluminescence spectroscopy, we have investigated the nature of Rabi oscillation damping during active manipulation of excitonic qubits in self-assembled quantum dots. Rabi oscillations were recorded by varying the pulse amplitude for fixed pulse durations between 4 ps and 10 ps. Up to 5 periods are visible, making it possible to quantify the excitation dependent damping. We find that this damping is more pronounced for shorter pulse widths and show that its origin is the non-resonant excitation of carriers in the wetting layer, most likely involving bound-to-continuum and continuum-t…

Elastic Spin Relaxation Processes in Semiconductor Quantum Dots

Electron spin decoherence caused by elastic spin-phonon processes is investigated comprehensively in a zero-dimensional environment. Specifically, a theoretical treatment is developed for the processes associated with the fluctuations in the phonon potential as well as in the electron procession frequency through the spin-orbit and hyperfine interactions in the semiconductor quantum dots. The analysis identifies the conditions (magnetic field, temperature, etc.) in which the elastic spin-phonon processes can dominate over the inelastic counterparts with the electron spin-flip transitions. Part…

Strain-gradient mapping of semiconductor quantum dots

In the context of fast developing quantum technologies, locating single quantum objects embedded in solid or fluid environment while keeping their properties unchanged is a crucial requirement as well as a challenge. Such "quantum microscopes" have been demonstrated already for NV-centers embedded in diamond [1], and for single atoms within an ultracold gas [2]. In this work, we demonstrate a new method to determine non-destructively the position of randomly distributed semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) deeply embedded in a solid photonic waveguide. By setting the wire in an oscillating motion,…

Self-consistent scheme for optical response of large hybrid networks of semiconductor quantum dots and plasmonic metal nanoparticles

We discuss a self-consistent scheme for treating the optical response of large, hybrid networks of semiconducting quantum dots (SQDs) and plasmonic metallic nanoparticles (MNPs). Our method is efficient and scalable and becomes exact in the limiting case of weakly interacting SQDs. The self-consistent equations obtained for the steady state are analogous to the von Neumann equations of motion for the density matrix of a SQD placed in an effective electric field computed within the discrete dipole approximation. Illustrative applications of the theory to square and honeycomb SQD, MNP, and hybri…
