We review distinct features arising from the unique nature of the carrier-phonon coupling in
self-assembled semiconductor quantum dots. Because of the discrete electronic energy …

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 …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) materials offer unique opportunities in engineering the
ultrafast spatiotemporal response of composite nanomechanical structures. In this work, we …

We present a microscopically based scheme for the generation of coherent cavity phonons
(phonon laser) by an optically driven semiconductor quantum dot coupled to a THz acoustic …

Ultrahigh-frequency acoustic-phonon resonators usually require atomically flat interfaces to
avoid phonon scattering and dephasing, leading to expensive fabrication processes, such …

Nanophononics is essential for the engineering of thermal transport in nanostructured
electronic devices, it greatly facilitates the manipulation of mechanical resonators in the …

Semiconductor light emission can be changed considerably in an optical resonator.
Prerequisite is that the electronic transitions involved in light generation are in resonance …

Cavity exciton polariton physics and cavity optomechanics have evolved into mature and
active domains with, so far, very little connections between them. We argue here that there …

Lattices of exciton-polariton condensates represent an attractive platform for the study and
implementation of non-Hermitian bosonic quantum systems with strong non-linear …

The Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model is likely the simplest one-dimensional concept to
study nontrivial topological phases and topological excitations. Originally developed to …
