| Sumario: | We present the theoretical investigation of the dynamics of strongly confined laser
driven semiconductor quantum dots coupled to phonons. We provide a formally exact solution
of this non-Markovian quantum decoherence problem. The method is based on the discrete
time-dependent path-integral Monte Carlo technique. This method allows us to explore the
cases of long pulses, arbitrary dot-phonon and dot-laser coupling and high temperatures, which
up to now have been inaccessible. We find that although Rabi oscillations of the density matrix
are suppressed due to phonon induced dephasing, the dephasing rate is a non-monotonic function of the laser field and that it becomes smaller at larger fields leading to a remarkable revival of the Rabi oscillations. This revival is of a general nature which for the type of systems
studied here occurs for all temperatures and carrier-phonon coupling strengths. |
