Quantum Logic Using Excitonic Quantum Dots in External Optical Microcavities

摘要

An experimental project was undertaken to develop means to achieve quantum optical strong coupling between a single GaAs quantum dot and the optical mode of a microcavity for the purpose of quantum control of dot and photon states for quantum information processing. Good progress was made in design and fabrication of the quantum dot structure and the microcavity and initial results were obtained.
