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 کاملQuantum condensation from a tailored exciton population in a microcavity
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...
متن کاملPopulation inversion in quantum dot ensembles via adiabatic rapid passage
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 ...
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...
متن کاملQubits and Their Potential Implementation Through a Semiconductor Double Quantum Dot
In the context of a semi-conductor based implementation of a quantum computer the idea of a quantum storage bit is presented and a possible implementation, using a double quantum dot structure, is considered. A measurement scheme using a stimulated Raman adiabatic passage is discussed.
