Population inversion in quantum dot ensembles via adiabatic rapid passage

چکیده
Electrical detection of adiabatic rapid passage ARP in quantum dot ensembles is explored by extension of a simple physical model. We include exciton and biexciton states and model the current flow into the external circuit which occurs following ionization of the exciton and tunneling of the separate carriers. The inversion produced by ARP is robust with respect to fluctuations in coupling and detuning, and we show directly that this manifests itself as only minor variation in the current drawn per dot, as the number of dots in an ensemble is increased. This approach therefore can provide a means of initializing many dots simultaneously into a specific excited state.

Population inversion in a single InGaAs quantum dot using the method of adiabatic rapid passage.
Preparation of a specific quantum state is a required step for a variety of proposed quantum applications. We report an experimental demonstration of optical quantum state inversion in a single semiconductor quantum dot using adiabatic rapid passage. This method is insensitive to variation in the optical coupling in contrast with earlier work based on Rabi oscillations. We show that when the pu...
متن کاملImplementation of Single-Qutrit Quantum Gates via Tripod Adiabatic Passage
We proposed and analyzed implementation of the single-qutrit quantum gates based on stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) between magnetic sublevels in atoms coupled by pulsed laser fields. This technique requires only the control of the relative phase of the driving fields but do not involve any dynamical or geometrical phases, which make it independent of the other interaction details: ...
متن کاملRobust quantum dot exciton generation via adiabatic passage with frequency-swept optical pulses.
The energy states in semiconductor quantum dots are discrete as in atoms, and quantum states can be coherently controlled with resonant laser pulses. Long coherence times allow the observation of Rabi flopping of a single dipole transition in a solid state device, for which occupancy of the upper state depends sensitively on the dipole moment and the excitation laser power. We report on the rob...

An experiment is proposed on the coherent quantum dynamics of a semiconductor microcavity containing quantum dots. Modeling the experiment using a generalized Dicke model, we show that a tailored excitation pulse can create an energy-dependent population of excitons, which subsequently evolves to a quantum condensate of excitons and photons. The population is created by a generalization of adia...
