Cavity quantum electrodynamics with semiconductor quantum dots: Role of phonon-assisted cavity feeding
For a semiconductor quantum dot strongly coupled to a microcavity, we theoretically investigate phononassisted transitions from the exciton to a cavity photon, where the energy mismatch is compensated by phonon emission or absorption. By means of a Schrieffer-Wolff transformation we derive an effective Hamiltonian, which describes the combined effect of exciton-cavity and exciton-phonon couplin...
متن کاملNon-markovian model of photon-assisted dephasing by electron-phonon interactions in a coupled quantum-dot-cavity system.
We investigate the influence of electron-phonon interactions on the dynamical properties of a quantum-dot-cavity QED system. We show that non-markovian effects in the phonon reservoir lead to strong changes in the dynamics, arising from photon-assisted dephasing processes, not present in markovian treatments. A pronounced consequence is the emergence of a phonon induced spectral asymmetry when ...
متن کاملPhonon Decoherence of Quantum Dots in Photonic Structures: Broadening of the Zero-Phonon Line and the Role of Dimensionality
We develop a general microscopic theory describing the phonon-induced decoherence of photons emitted by quantum dots placed in various photonic structures. The decoherence is found to depend fundamentally on the dimensionality of the structure resulting in vastly different performance for quantum dots embedded in a nano-cavity (0D), waveguide (1D), slab (2D), or bulk medium (3D). In bulk, we fi...
متن کاملBias-Induced Optical Absorption of Current Carrying Two-Orbital Quantum Dot with Strong Electron-Phonon Interaction (Polaron Regime)
The one photon absorption (OPA) cross section of a current carrying two-orbital quantum dot (QD) with strong electron-phonon interaction (polaron regime) is considered. Using the self-consistent non-equilibrium Hartree-Fock (HF) approximation, we determine the dependence of OPA cross section on the applied bias voltage, the strength of effective electron-electron interaction, and level spacing ...
متن کاملDetuning effect in quantum dynamics of a strongly coupled single quantum dot--cavity system
The quantum dynamics of a strongly coupled single quantum dot–cavity system with non-zero detuning in a phonon bath is investigated theoretically in terms of a perturbation treatment based on a unitary transformation and an operator displacement. The decoherence due to phonons as a function of the detuning between the cavity mode and exciton is obtained analytically. It is shown that the detuni...
