Coherent Optical Control of Semiconductor Quantum Dot Systems

Speaker Dr. Yanwen Wu
Affiliation Department of Physics, Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge, UK
Date October 25, 2010 (Mon)
Time 4:00-5:00 p.m.
Venue Room 522, 5/F, Chong Yuet Ming Physics Building, HKU

Abstract:

The optical study of semiconductor quantum dot systems has revealed their potential as a strong candidate in quantum information processing. In particular, ultrafast (picosecond scale) optical manipulations of the systems are desirable manifestation of computational gate operations. In this talk, I will present three cases of optical control on interface-fluctuation and self-assembled quantum dots in the context of quantum computation and further application in the investigation of exotic behaviours, such as polariton condensates in semiconductors.

 

Coffee and tea will be served 20 minutes prior to the seminar.
