Our recent work on the electronic and optical properties of semiconductor and graphene
quantum dots is reviewed. For strained self-assembled InAs quantum dots on GaAs or InP …

Theory of electronic and optical properties of exciton and biexciton complexes confined in
CdSe spherical nanocrystals is presented. The electron and hole states are computed using …

Coherently driven semiconductor quantum dots are one of the most promising platforms for
non-classical light sources and quantum logic gates which form the foundation of photonic …

We present a combined experimental and theoretical study of InAs/InGaAs/GaAs quantum
dots capable of single photon emission in the technologically important telecom C-band for …

We present here an atomistic theory of the electronic and optical properties of hexagonal
InAsP quantum dots in InP nanowires in the wurtzite phase. These self-assembled quantum …

We present here the steps enabling the microscopic design of a synthetic spin-1 chain in an
InAsP quantum dot (QD) array embedded in an InP nanowire. The chain is described by a …

The optical spectrum of a quantum dot is typically dominated by the fundamental transition
between the lowest-energy configurations. However, the radiative Auger process can result …

The trion, a quasiparticle comprising one exciton and an additional charge carrier, offers
unique opportunities for generating spin-photon interfaces that can be used in developing …

In this work we study theoretically and experimentally the multi-particle structure of the so-
called type-II quantum dots with spatially separated electrons and holes. Our calculations …

We present a microscopic theory of electronic and optical properties of colloidal graphene
quantum dots (CGQDs). The single-particle properties are described in the tight-binding …
