Contents:
Introduction -- Decoherence of Intraband Transitions in Semiconductor Quantum Dots -- Optically Induced Spin Rotations -- Optically Controlled Spin Dynamics in a Semimagnetic Quantum Dot -- Carrier Spin Dynamics in Self-Assembled Quantum Dots -- Motional Narrowing and Spectral Diffusion in Single Quantum Dots -- Exciton and Spin Coherence in Quantum Dot Lattices -- Ultrafast Control in Single Quantum Dots -- Quantum Optics with Polaritons -- Microcavity Polaritons: Nonequilibrium Quantum Condensation in Dissipative Environment.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: The unprecedented control of coherence that can be exercised in quantum optics of atoms and molecules has stimulated increasing efforts in extending it to solid-state systems. One motivation to exploit the coherent phenomena comes from the emergence of the quantum information paradigm, however many more potential device applications ranging from novel lasers to spintronics are all bound up with issues in coherence. The book focuses on recent advances in the optical control of coherence in excitonic and polaritonic systems as model systems for the complex semiconductor dynamics towards the goal of achieving quantum coherence control in solid-state. Special attention is given to the optical control of spin coherence. These front edge research topics are presented in the form of review articles by leading scientists.
