Using a realistic description for the quantum dot states and the phonon coupling, we demonstrate that such dephasing has a drastic impact on the coherent optical response. We employ optimal control theory to search for control strategies that allow to fight decoherence, and show that appropriate tailoring of laser pulses allows a complete control of the optical excitation despite the phonon dephasing.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-01-15T08:29:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum control", "polaron states", "employ optimal control theory", "independent boson model", "quantum dot states" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
