  "abstract": "We present a first-principle path integral Monte-Carlo (PIMC) study of the binding energy of excitons, trions (positively and negatively charged excitons) and biexcitons bound to single-island interface defects in quasi-two-dimensional GaAs/Al$_{x}$Ga$_{1-x}$As quantum wells. We discuss in detail the dependence of the binding energy on the size of the well width fluctuations and on the quantum-well width. The numerical results for the well width dependence of the exciton, trions and biexciton binding energy are in good quantitative agreement with the available experimental data.",
