报告摘要:
  In recent years, the interest in studying quantum-dot nuclear spin systems and their coupling to confined electron spins has been further fueled by its importance for possible quantum information processing applications. The fascinating nonlinear (quantum) dynamics of the coupled electron-nuclear spin system is universal in quantum dot optics and transport. In the first part of this talk, experimental work performed over the last decade in studying this mesoscopic, coupled electronuclear spin system is reviewed, with special focus on how optical addressing of electron spins can be exploited to manipulate and read out the quantum-dot nuclei.
  The second part of the talk will be devoted to the generation of entangled photon pairs. We create a naturally symmetric quantum dot cascade that emits highly polarization entangled photon pairs on demand. The emitted photons strongly violate Bell¡¯s inequality. The source consists of strain-free GaAs dots grown by Droplet Epitaxy on a triangular symmetric (111)A surface [1]. The remaining decoherence channel of the photon source is ascribed to random charge and nuclear spin fluctuations in and near the dot. We discuss the practical consequences of the nonlinear (quantum) dynamics of the coupled electron-nuclear spin system revealed in quantum dot optics [2] in these nano-objects with trigonal (C3v) symmetry [3].
