Two-dimensional materials have attracted significant interest and investigation since the
marvellous discovery of graphene. Due to their unique physical, mechanical and optical …

We review the progress and main challenges in implementing large-scale quantum
computing by optical control of electron spins in quantum dots (QDs). Relevant systems …

We report coherent optical control of a biexciton (two electron-hole pairs), confined in a
single quantum dot, that shows coherent oscillations similar to the excited-state Rabi …

Coherent optical manipulation of exciton states provides a fascinating approach for quantum
gating and ultrafast switching. However, their coherence time for incumbent semiconductors …

This book reviews recent advances in the exciting and rapid growing field of semiconductor
quantum dots by contributions from some of the most prominent researchers in the field …

The motions of electrons in solids may be highly correlated by strong, long-range Coulomb
interactions. Correlated electron-hole pairs (excitons) are accessed spectroscopically …

Quantum dots (QDs) offer unique physical properties and novel application possibilities like
single-photon emitters for quantum technologies. While strongly confined III–V and II–VI QDs …

We describe the resonant excitation of a single quantum dot that is strongly coupled to a
photonic crystal nanocavity. The cavity represents a spectral window for resonantly probing …

We report on Rabi oscillations of the biexciton in a single In x Ga 1− x As∕ Ga As quantum
dot, induced via a coherent two-photon process. In contrast to single-exciton Rabi …

We report an experimental demonstration and theoretical analysis of electromagnetically
induced transparency in a GaAs quantum well, in which the absorption of an exciton …
