Manifestation of fundamental quantum complementarities in time-domain interference experiments with quantum dots: A theoretical analysis

摘要

A theoretical analysis is presented showing that fundamental complementarity between the particlelike properties of an exciton confined in a semiconductor quantum dot and the ability of the same system to show interference may be studied in a time domain interference experiment, similar to those currently performed. The feasibility of such an experiment, including required pulse parameters and the dephasing effect of the environment, is studied.
