Coherent quantum switch driven by optimized laser pulses
E. Räsänen, A. Castro, J. Werschnik, A. Rubio and E. K. U. Gross. Coherent quantum switch driven by optimized laser pulses. Physica E. 2008, Vol. 40, p. 1593-2008.
We present two models of coherent quantum switches constructed from a single-electron quantum ring and a double quantum dot, respectively. The systems are driven by picosecond laser pulses obtained using quantum optimal control theory. The optimized pulses generate electron-current flips in the ring (magnetic switch) and electron transport in the double dot (charge switch) in significantly shorter times and higher accuracies than previously used finite-length continuous waves. This opens applicable paths into coherent single-qubit gates operated by terahertz lasers.
