The role of phonons for exciton and biexciton generation in an optically driven quantum dot

Abstract

For many applications of semiconductor quantum dots in quantum technology a well controlled state preparation of the quantum dot states is mandatory. Since quantum dots are embedded in the semiconductor matrix, the interaction with phonons plays often a major role in the preparation process. In this review, we discuss the influence of phonons on three basically different optical excitation schemes which can be used for the preparation of exciton, biexciton, and superposition states: a resonant excitation leading to Rabi rotations in the excitonic system, an excitation with chirped pulses exploiting the effect of adiabatic rapid passage, and an off-resonant excitation giving rise to a phonon-assisted state preparation. We give an overview over experimental and theoretical results showing the role of the phonons and compare the performance of the schemes for state preparation.
