Selective optical control of electron spin coherence in singly charged GaAs-Al0.3Ga0.7As quantum dots.

چکیده
Coherent transient excitation of the spin ground states in singly charged quantum dots creates optically coupled and decoupled states of the electron spin. We demonstrate selective excitation from the spin ground states to the trion state through phase sensitive control of the spin coherence via these three states, leading to partial rotations of the spin vector. This progress lays the ground work for achieving complete ultrafast spin rotations.

Stimulated and spontaneous optical generation of electron spin coherence in charged GaAs quantum dots.
We report on the coherent optical excitation of electron spin polarization in the ground state of charged GaAs quantum dots via an intermediate charged exciton (trion) state. Coherent optical fields are used for the creation and detection of the Raman spin coherence between the spin ground states of the charged quantum dot. The measured spin decoherence time, which is likely limited by the natu...
متن کاملFast spin state initialization in a singly charged InAs-GaAs quantum dot by optical cooling.
Quantum computation requires a continuous supply of rapidly initialized qubits for quantum error correction. Here, we demonstrate fast spin state initialization with near unity efficiency in a singly charged quantum dot by optically cooling an electron spin. The electron spin is successfully cooled from 5 to 0.06 K at a magnetic field of 0.88 T applied in Voigt geometry. The spin cooling rate i...

The magnetophotoluminescence (MPL) behavior of a GaAs/Al0.3Ga0.7As single heterojunction has been investigated to 60T. We observed negatively charged singlet and triplet exciton states that are formed at high magnetic fields beyond the ν=1 quantum Hall state. The variation of the charged exciton binding energies are in good agreement with theoretical predictions. The MPL transition intensities ...

متن کاملCoherence and Spin in GaAs Quantum Dots
This thesis describes a number of experiments performed in quantum dots as well as 2D systems fabricated in GaAs/AlGaAs 2D electron gases. The focus of the studies is set on spin, coherence and interaction effects of electrons in mesoscopic structures. Experiments investigating the rich physics of spin-orbit coupling in confined structures in presence of magnetic fields both perpendicular and p...
