Strong Exciton-Plasmon Coupling and Hybridization of Organic-Inorganic Exciton-Polaritons in Plasmonic Nanocavity

We investigate strong exciton-plasmon coupling and plasmon-mediated hybridization between the Frenkel(F)and Wannier-Mott(WM)excitons of an organic-inorganic hybrid system consisting of a silver ring separated from a monolayer WS_2 by J-aggregates.The extinction spectra of the hybrid system calculated by employing the coupled oscillator model are consistent with the results simulated by the finite-difference time-domain method.The calculation results show that strong couplings among F excitons,WM excitons,and localized surface plasmon resonances(LSPRs) lead to the appearance of three plexciton branches in the extinction spectra.The weighting efficiencies of the F exciton,WM exciton and LSPR modes in three plexciton branches are used to analyze the exciton-polaritons in the system.Furthermore,the strong coupling between two different excitons and LSPRs is manipulated by tuning F or WM exciton resonances.     

Prospecting Quantum Correlations and Examining Teleportation Fidelity in a Pair of Coupled Double Quantum Dots System

The topic of improving the ability of quantum systems to retain non-local features and enhance the efficiency of quantum protocols continues. This study delves into the thermal investigation of quantum correlations and teleportation fidelity of a two-qubit teleported state using excess electrons in a coupled double quantum dots system as a quantum channel. The study employs three reliable quantum quantifiers to prospect the resourcefulness and non-classicality of the system. The findings suggest that preserving quantum correlations and optimizing teleportation fidelity require minimizing tunneling coupling and maximizing Coulomb interaction. The study has significant implications for quantum physics and its practical applications in quantum information processing.     

Evolutionary Plasmonic Properties of Single Truncated Ag Nanowire-on-Au Film Nanocavity

Noble metal nanocavities have been widely demonstrated to possess great potential applications in nanooptics and nanophotonics due to their extraordinary localized surface plasmon resonance. However, most metal nanocrystals synthesized by chemical methods often suffer from truncation with different degrees due to oxidation and dissolution of metal atoms at corner and edges. We investigate the influence of shape truncation on the plasmonic properties of single Ag nanowire on Au film nanocavity us...     

Electron States in Parallel Double Quantum Dots with a Tunable Inter-Dot Coupling

We study the electron states on lateral double quantum dots coupled in parallel. The charge stability diagrams are given in terms of the gate voltages of both dots. We discover that the two electron states translate from separated states to coupled states continuously by increasing the inter-dot coupling strength. Our results demonstrate that the parallel-quantum-dot tunability bodes well for future quantum computing applications.     

Optical Properties of Planar Nanostructures Based on Semiconductor Quantum Dots and Plasmonic Metal Nanoparticles

The optical properties of a composite material consisting of a thin polymer film, which is activated by semiconductor CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) and silver nanoparticles, on a transparent dielectric substrate have been investigated. It is revealed that the presence of silver nanoparticles leads to an increase in the QD absorption (by a factor of 4) and in the fluorescence intensity (by a factor of 10), whereas the fluorescence time drops by a factor of about 10. Excitation of the composite medium by a pulsed laser is found to result in narrowing of the fluorescence band and a sublinear dependence of its intensity on the pulse energy. In the absence of silver nanoparticles, the fluorescence spectrum of QDs is independent of the excitation-pulse energy density, and the fluorescence intensity depends linearly on the pulse energy in the entire range of energy densities, up to 75 mJ/cm².

Kondo Effect Versus Magnetic Coupling in Indirectly Coupled Double Quantum Dots

We theoretically investigate a device consisting of two quantum dots(QDs) side-coupled to a quantum wire which has many physicalingredients of an artificial heavy fermion system. An extra parameter, the distance L between the two QDs, is introduced and it plays an important role on the competition of the Kondo temperature and magnetic coupling. Three different phases are found: antiferromagnetic phase, Kondo phase with spin S=1/2, and Kondo phase with S=1, depending on the distance L, the magnetic coupling, and the Kondo temperature. Quantum transport properties are qualitatively different for different phases: for the S=1 Kondo and the antiferromagnetic phases, the conductance tends to the unitary value 2e²/h; for the S=1/2 Kondo phase the conductance is strongly dependent on the distance.     

Effect of the Electron—Phonon Coupling on Barrier D^— Quantum Dots in Magnetic Fields

The influence of the electron-phonon coupling of the energy of low-lying states of the barrier D^- center,which consists of a positive ion located on the z-azis at a distance from the two-dimensional quantum dot plane and two electrons in the dot plane bound by the ion,is investigated at arbitrary strength of maguetic field by mading use of the method of few-body physics.Discontinuous ground-state energy transitions induced by the magnetic field are reported.The dependence of the binding energy of the D^- ground state on the quantum dot radius is obtained.A considerable enhancement of the binding is found for the D^- ground state,which results from the confinement of electrons and electron-phonon coupling.

Theory of a Pair of Quantum Bits

In this paper we present a thorough study of the theory of a pair of qubits, whose Hilbert space can be identified with ^{2 2}. Given an hermitian operator of trace 1 in ^{2 2} we focus on the following Problems: Problem 1: Find conditions that guarantee that is a state, that is, positive semidefinite. Problem 2: Find conditions that guarantee that a given state is separable, or that is a convex combination of products of one-particle states. The language we develop for our investigation makes use of the observation that ^{2 2} carries representations of the special unitary group SU(2) in two dimensions and of the direct product of this group by itself. We introduce a new type of observable called Bell observable (section 5) and a new measure of entanglement called concurrence, which is closely related to the concurrence introduced by Wootters (Physical Review Letters (1998) 80, 2245–2248) (section 8). The work has been inspired by the works of Wootters (Physical Review Letters (1997) 78, 5022–5025; Physical Review Letters (1998) 80, 2245–2248) and members of the Horodecki family (cf Horodecki and Horodecki, Physical Review A (1996) 54, 1838–1843; Horodecki et al., Physics Letters A (1996a) 223, 1–8; Physics Letters A (1996b) 222, 21–25) and reproduces some of their results.

Fano--Kondo Effect in a Triple Quantum Dots Coupled to Ferromagnetic Leads

Using the Keldysh nonequilibrium Green function and equation-of-motion technique, we have qualitatively studied the spin-dependent transport of a triple-QD system in the Kondo regime. It is shown that the Kondo resonance and Fang interference coexist, and in this system the Fang Kondo effect shows dip behaviours richer than that in the T-shaped QDs. The interdot coupling, the energy level of the side coupled QDs and the spin polarization strength greatly influence the DOS of the central quantum dot QDo. Either the increase of the coupling strength between the two QDs or that of the energy levels of the side coupled QDs enhances the Kondo resonance. Especially, the Kondo resonance is strengthened greatly when the side dot energy is fixed at the Fermi energy. Meanwhile, the Kondo resonance splits for the spin-up and spin-down configurations due to the polarization： the down-spin resonance is enhanced, and the up-spin resonance is suppressed.     

Quantum Locality for a Pair of Interacting Systems

We discuss the quantum locality （non-transfer of information） for a pair of mutually interacting systems, and point out the relaxed locality. The models fulfilling the relaxed locality condition can serve as a guide for quantum engineers in designing quantum-information hardware.     

Pair Approximation Method Applied to a Quantum Transverse Ising Spin-Glass Model

The quantum version of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model in a transverse field is investigated by combining the pair approximation with the discrete path-integral representation. The free energy and the field-dependent freezing temperature T_c(Г) of the model are obtained,and the classical result for the vanishing of the transverse field (Г → 0) can be reproduced.     

Energy Spectra of Excitons Bound to a Neutral Acceptor in Quantum Dots

The energy spectra of the ground state for an exciton (X) trapped by a neutral acceptor (A⁰) in a quantum dot with a parabolic confinement have been calculated as a function of the electron-to-hole mass ratio σ by using the hyperspherical coordinates. We find that the (A⁰,X) complex confined in a quantum dot has in general a larger binding energy than those in a two-dimensional quantum well and a three-dimensional bulk semiconductor, and the binding energy decreases with the increase of the electron-to-hole mass ratio.

Four-Electron Systems in a Coupled Double-Layer Quantum Dots

Making use of the method of few-body physics, the energy spectrum of a four-electron system consisting in a vertically coupled double-layer quantum dot as a function of the strength ofa magnetic field is investigated. Discontinuous ground-state transitions induced by an external magnetic field are shown. We find that, in the strong coupling case, the ground-state transitions depend not only on the external magnetic field B but also on the distance d between double-layer quantum dots. However, in the case of weak coupling, the ground-state transitions occur in the new sequence of the values of the magic angular momentum. Hence, the interlayer separation d and electron-electron interaction strongly affect the ground state of the coupled quantum dots.     

ZnCdSe量子点的激子行为研究

用金属有机化学气相沉积(MOCVD)的方法在晶格失配较小的情况下制备了ZnCdSe量子点。并用原子力显微镜(AFM)和极低温度下的发光光谱确认了量子点的形成。原子力显微镜观测的形貌变化发现。随着生长后时间的增加,量子点的尺寸逐渐增大。而密度减小,这是由于熟化过程作用的结果。随着量子点生长完毕与加盖层之间间隔时间的增加,量子点的发光峰位明显红移,且由变温光谱得到的激子束缚能逐渐变小。这可以解释为随着间隔时间的增加,量子点的熟化过程导致量子点的尺寸增大,量子限域效应减弱所致。     

Temperature Insensitivity of Optical Properties of InAs/GaAs Quantum Dots due to a Pregrown InGaAs Quantum Well

Both the peak position and linewidth in the photoluminescence spectrum of the InAs/GaAs quantum dots usually vary in an anomalous way with increasing temperature. Such anomalous optical behaviour is eliminated by inserting an In0.2Ga0.8As quantum well below the quantum dot layer in molecular beam epitaxy. The insensitivity of the photoluminescence spectra to temperature is explained in terms of the effective carrier redistribution between quantum dots through the In0.2Ga0.8As quantum well.
