Generation of terahertz electromagnetic pulses from quantum-wellstructures

Terahertz generation from semiconductor quantum-well structures pumped by a femtosecond optical pulse is studied. We propose a three-level model for the electrons and holes in the quantum wells. We then solve the coupled optical Bloch equations directly using a Runge-Kutta method and calculate the terahertz radiation field. We study optical rectification and quantum beats caused by charge oscillations in 1) a coupled quantum well in which quantum beats occur between two electron states of the coupled system and 2) a single-quantum-well structure in which quantum beats occur between light-hole and heavy-hole excitons. Our theoretical results agree very well with the experimentally measured terahertz data

Laser-induced resonant electron transitions in a structure with three quantum dots

The effect of a resonance laser pulse on the quantum dynamics of electrons in a system of three semiconductor boxlike quantum dots is theoretically analyzed. It is shown that, in an asymmetric structure, the electron transfer between the two outer dots can be described in terms of a two-level scheme with diagonal transitions. The energies of the operating electron levels and the matrix elements for the corresponding electron transitions are found in the high-barrier approximation. The parameters of the laser pulse corresponding to the highest probability of resonance electron transitions between the ground states of two quantum dots are determined.

Quantum statistical properties of an FEL amplifier

We discuss the problem of photon quantum statistics of a single particle free-electron laser (FEL) amplifier in the small-signal cold beam regime to first order in the electron quantum recoil. The initial radiation wave is an arbitrary coherent state. We show that Glauber coherence is not preserved by the FEL interaction if the initial coherent state is not the vacuum, even if we neglect the electron quantum recoil (absence of gain). We evaluate the first two moments of the final photon distribution and find sub- (super)-Poissonian photon statistics for a negative (positive) resonance parameter.     

Perfectly and imperfectly controlled quantum operations on a charge qubit

A theoretical investigation is presented into the coherent dynamics of a charge qubit in the form of two tunnel-coupled quantum dots containing a single electron, with the logic states represented by electron orbitals localized at the quantum dots. Analytical expressions are derived for the evolution of a one-or two-qubit system in an applied field. The system and field parameters are evaluated in terms of performing basic one-qubit operations. The possibility is explored for implementing the CNOT operation in a two-qubit system driven by error-free or error-prone control pulses.
