Photonic Jet Writing of Quantum Dots Self‐Aligned to Dielectric Microspheres

Temperature Tunability of Dielectric/ Liquid Crystal / Dielectric Photonic Crystal Structures

Recently, photonic crystals doped with liquid crystal (LC) material havegained much research interest. In this article new ternary one-dimensional photoniccrystal introduced and studied. The liquid crystal layer of 5CB and 5PCH is sandwichedby two dielectric layers. For the first time, we use four structures SiO2/UCF35/CaF2,SiO2/5CB/CaF2, NFK51/UCF35/NPSK53 and NFK51/5CB/NPSK53. The effect ofte...

Hyper-parallel photonic quantum computation with coupled quantum dots

It is well known that a parallel quantum computer is more powerful than a classical one. So far, there are some important works about the construction of universal quantum logic gates, the key elements in quantum computation. However, they are focused on operating on one degree of freedom (DOF) of quantum systems. Here, we investigate the possibility of achieving scalable hyper-parallel quantum...

Addition spectra of quantum dots: the role of dielectric mismatch

Using atomistic pseudopotential wave functions we calculate the electron and hole charging energies of InAs quantum dots. We find that the charging energies depend strongly on the dielectric constant ǫout of the surrounding material, and that when the latter is smaller than the dielectric constant of the dot (weak external screening) the electron-electron and hole-hole interactions are dominate...

Applications of Quantum Dots in Cell Tracking

Tracking cells after transplantation is always one the main concerns of researchers in the field of regenerative medicine. Finding a tracer with long stability and low cytotoxicity can be considered as a solution for this issue. Semiconductor nanocrystals, also called quantum dots (QDs), have unique photophysical properties which make them as suitable candidate in this setting. Broad-range exci...
