  "abstract": "It is shown that in many cases an adequate description of optical spectra of semiconductor quantum dots requires a treatment beyond the commonly used adiabatic approximation. We have developed a theory of phonon-assisted optical transitions in semiconductor quantum dots, which takes into account non-adiabaticity of the exciton-phonon system. Effects of non-adiabaticity lead to a mixing of different exciton and phonon states that provides a key to the understanding of surprisingly high intensities of phonon satellites observed in photoluminescence spectra of quantum dots. A breakdown of the adiabatic approximation gives an explanation also for discrepancies between the serial law, observed in multi-phonon optical spectra of some quantum dots, and the Franck-Condon progression, prescribed by the adiabatic approach.",
