Dynamics of electron entanglement in semiconductor nanostructures

چکیده
Quantum entanglement, the most remarkable feature of quantum physics, is recognized as a resource for quantum information processing. The quest for quantum-computing devices has also produced great interest in entanglement formation in solid-state systems involving quantum effects. Indeed, the functionality of an increasing number of nanodevices is influenced by quantum correlations. In this work a theoretical approach developed in recent years to study the entanglement of fermions interacting via a Coulomb potential is presented, together with a number of applications to specific situations of physical interest in the field of charge transport in semiconductor nanostructures.

Molecular Quantum Entanglement in Functionalized Semiconductor Nanostructures
(Dated: March 12, 2004) The feasibility of creating molecular quantum entanglement in functionalized semiconductor nanostructures is computationally demonstrated. Entangled hole states, localized deep in the semiconductor band gap, are generated by electron-hole pair separation after photoexcitation of molecular surface complexes. The approach is illustrated for model arrays of catechol molecul...
متن کاملDynamics of Entanglement between Linearly Polarized Photons and π -Electrons in Graphene
In the present article we report the dynamical behavior of entanglement between π-electrons and photons in Graphene. It is shown that the degree of such entanglements depend on the orientation of π-electron momenta relative to the photonic polarization. Moreover, we show that as the detuning between the π-electron transition frequencies and that of the photons is increased, the degree of entang...

A single electron spin localized in III-V semiconductor structure is an attractive candidate for a solid state quantum bit. An outstanding bottleneck towards spin-based quantum computation has been the fast dephasing of the electron spin by the inevitable nuclear spin environment. In this talk, I will discuss preparations of nuclear spin environment using optical and electrical controlled dynam...
