We provide a self-contained review of master equation approaches to modelling phonon
effects in optically driven self-assembled quantum dots. Coupling of the (quasi) two-level …

The preparation of excitonic states in semiconductor quantum dots is a prerequisite for the
application of quantum dots in quantum information technology, eg, as source of single or …

We present a quantum optics formalism to study the intensity power broadening of a
semiconductor quantum dot interacting with an acoustic-phonon bath and a high-Q …

We present both experimental and theoretical investigations of a laser-driven quantum dot
(QD) in the dressed-state regime of resonance fluorescence. We explore the role of phonon …

We study the crucial role played by the solid-state environment in determining the photon
emission characteristics of a driven quantum dot. For resonant driving, we predict a phonon …

A theoretical framework is developed that combines the systematic many-body cluster-
expansion approach with the standard quantum-optical representations. A cluster …

We present a detailed study of a phonon-assisted incoherent excitation mechanism of single
quantum dots. A spectrally detuned continuous-wave laser couples to a quantum dot …

Electron-phonon coupling in semiconductor quantum dots plays a significant role in
determining the optical properties of excited excitons, especially the spectral nature of …

We analyze the light scattered by a single InAs quantum dot interacting with a resonant
continuous-wave laser. High-resolution spectra reveal clear distinctions between coherent …

Two-color second-order correlations of the light scattered near-resonantly by a quantum dot
were measured by means of spectrally filtered coincidence detection. The effects of filter …
