Energy Spectra of Three-Electron Quantum Dots

By making use of the method of few-body physics, the energy spectra of three electrons confined by two-dimensional and three-dimensional quantum dots (QDs) are investigated. Using the present results, the size and shape effects of QDs on the spectra are revealed.     

Modes of Excitation in Two-Dimensional Quantum Dots

The electronic structures of low-lying excited states of a polarized quantum dot with 6 electrons has been studied. The Hamiltonian has been diagonalized to obtain the eigenstates. All results are extracted from a detailed analysis of wave functions. Six modes were found that lead to distinct excited core-ring structures. As a result, the core or the ring, or both may be excited, different core-ring structures may coexist. Both crystal-like and liquid-like pictures were found. The role of symmetry constraint was found to be important, the angular momenta of the core and the ring are adjusted to meet the requirement of symmetry constraint.     

Effect of Quantum Point Contact Measurement on Electron Spin State in Quantum Dots

We study the time evolution of two electron spin states in a double quantum-dot system, which includes a nearby quantum point contact （QPC） as a measurement device. We find that the QPC measurement induced decoherence is in the microsecond timescale. We also find that the enhanced QPC measurement will trap the system in its initial spin states, which is consistent with the quantum Zeno effect.     

State Classification via a Random-Walk-Based Quantum Neural Network

In quantum information technology,crucial information is regularly encoded in different quantum states.To extract information,the identification of one state from the others is inevitable.However,if the states are nonorthogonal and unknown,this task will become awesomely tricky,especially when our resources are also limited.Here,we introduce the quantum stochastic neural network(QSNN),and show its capability to accomplish the binary discrimination of quantum states.After a handful of optimizing ...     

Modes of Internal Motion of Three-Body Systems Containing a Lighter Particle

Since the internal motion of few-body systems appears as a variation of the shape, the shape-densities are extracted from the eigensolutions of the 0⁺ states of a 3-body system containing a lighter particle. Detailed analysis on the shape-densities is made and a certain modes of internal motion are discovered.     

应用级联运动方程方法研究并联双量子点的量子纠缠

Quantum dots comprise a type of quantum impurity system. The entanglement and coherence of quantum states are significantly influenced by the strong electron-electron interactions among impurities and their dissipative coupling with the surrounding environment. Competition between many-body effects and transfer couplings plays an important role in determining the entanglement among localized impurity spins. In this work, we employ the hierarchical-equations-of-motion approach to explore the entanglement of a strongly correlated double quantum dots system. The relation between the total system entropy and those of subsystems is also investigated.     

Ground State Transitions of Four-Electron Quantum Dots in Zero Magnetic Field

In this paper, we study four electrons confined in a parabolic quantum dot in the absence of magnetic field, by the exact diagonalization method. The ground-state electronic structures and orbital and spin angular momenta transitions as a function of the confined strength are investigated. We find that the confinement may cause accidental degeneracies between levels with different low-lying states and the inversion of the energy values. The present results are useful to understand the optical properties and internal electron-electron correlations of quantum dot materials.     

Quadratic and Coulomb Terms for the Spectrum of a Three-Electron Quantum Dot

We consider the Hamiltonian of a three-electron quantum dot composed of quadratic plus Coulomb terms and calculate the system’s spectra. We next apply the hyperradius to reduce the three-body Schrödinger equation into a one-variable differential equation that is solvable. To avoid the complexity, the Taylor expansion of the effective potential is enters the problem and thereby a solution is found for the eigenvalues of the corresponding three-body Schrödinger equation in terms of the Wigner parameter.

Ground State Transitions in Vertically Coupled Four-Layer Single Electron Quantum Dots

We study a four-electron system in a vertically coupled four-layer quantum dot under a magnetic field by the exact diagonalization of the Hamiltonian matrix. We find that discontinuous ground-state energy transitions are induced by an external magnetic field. We find that dot-dot distance and electron-electron interaction strongly affect the low-lying states of the coupled quantum dots. The inter-dot correlation leads to some sequences of possible disappearances of ground state transitions, which are present for uncoupled dots.

Cluster State Entanglement of Semiconductor Quantum Dots Based on Faraday Rotation

We propose a scheme for a large-scale cluster state preparation of single-charged semiconductor quantum dots utilizing Faraday rotation. Without interaction between quantum dots, the exciton induced Faraday rotation could distribute the spatially separate quantum dots into a quantum network assisted by cavity QED. We obtain the corresponding parameters from the numerical simulation based on the input-output process for the required Faraday rotation and some discussion is made in view of experimental feasibility.     

The Roles of a Quantum Channel on a Quantum State

When a quantum state undergoes a quantum channel, the state will be inevitably influenced. In general, the fidelity of the state is reduced, so is the entanglement if the subsystems go through the channel. However, the influence on the coherence of the state is quite different. Here we present some state-independent quantities to describe to what degree the fidelity, the entanglement and the coherence of the state are influenced. As applications, we consider some quantum channels on a qubit and find that the infidelity ability monotonically depends on the decay rate, but in usual the decoherence ability is not the case and strongly depends on the channel.

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.     

Charged-Exciton Complexes in Quantum Dots

It is known experimentally that stable charged-exciton complexes can exist in low-dimensional semiconductor nanostructures. Much less is known about the properties of such charged-exciton complexes since three-body problems are very difficult to be solved, even numerically. Here we introduce the correlated hyperspherical harmonics as basis functions to solve the hyperangular equation for negatively and positively charged excitons (trions) in a harmonic quantum dot. By using this method, we have calculated the energy spectra of the low-lying states of a charged exciton as a function of the radius of quantum dot. Based on symmetry analysis, the level crossover as the dot radius increases can be fully explained as the results of symmetry constraint.
