We consider photoemision from a two-electron quantum dot and find analytic expression for the cross-section. We show that the emission cross-section from the ground state as a function of the magnetic field has sharp discontinuities corresponding to the singlet-triplet transitions for low magnetic fields and the transitions between magic numbers (2J+1) for high magnetic field. We also find the ...

In this Review we show several mathematical techniques that can be used in molecular calculations using Slater orbitals, like the transformation of the Hamiltonian, derivatives of spherical harmonics with respect to the angles, and angular transformations. We treat several kinds of integrals in detail: the exchange, Coulomb and hybrid repulsion and exchange correlated integrals, and the three-c...

complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (cmos) technology has been the industry standard to implement very large scale integrated (vlsi) devices for the last two decades. due to the consequences of miniaturization of such devices (i.e. increasing switching speeds, increasing complexity and decreasing power consumption), it is essential to replace them with a new technology. quantum-dot cellular...

we study the eigenenergies and eigenfunctions of the ground and first excited states (gfes) of an electron strongly coupled to the lo-phonon in an asymmetry quantum dot (aqd) under an applied electric field by using a variational method of the pekar type (vmpt). this aqd two-level system may be viewed as a single qubit. when the electron is in the superposition state (ss) of the gfes, the effec...

interaction and correlation effects in quantum dots play a fundamental role in defining both their equilibrium and transport properties. numerical methods are commonly employed to study such systems. in this paper we investigate the numerical calculation of quantum transport of electrons in spherical centered defect ingaas/algaas quantum dot (scdqd). the simulation is based on the imaginary time...

We study the coupling between a photonic crystal cavity and an off-resonant quantum dot under resonant excitation of the cavity or the quantum dot. Linewidths of the quantum dot and the cavity as a function of the excitation laser power are measured. We show that the linewidth of the quantum dot, measured by observing the cavity emission, is significantly broadened compared to the theoretical e...

This thesis addresses the concept of quantum computing with semiconductor quantum dots. The basic unit of a quantum computer is a quantum mechanical two-level system, the so-called quantum bit (qubit). The qubit can be defined as the spin of an electron confined in a quantum dot or as a two-dimensional subspace of the Hilbert space for several spins. Some semiconductors have several minima in t...

Semiconductor-based quantum structures integrated into mechanical resonators have emerged as a unique platform for generating entanglement between macroscopic phononic and mesocopic electronic degrees of freedom. A key challenge to realizing this is the ability to create and control the coupling between two vastly dissimilar systems. Here, such coupling is demonstrated in a hybrid device compos...
