Nonlinear spectroscopy of semiconductor nanostructures with quantum light (A02)

• Subject Area: Experimental Condensed Matter Physics
• Term: since 2014
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 231447078

In this project, we will experimentally and theoretically study transient optical wave-mixing signals of semiconductor nanostructures under resonant excitation with pulsed quantum light. Quantum state tomography of the detected optical signals will provide essential information about the excitation of excitons with quantum light and will allow us to analyze couplings and many-body interactions with high precision. Storage, evolution, and retrieval of quantum correlations in semiconductor quantum dots and quantum wells embedded in microcavities will be explored.
