Femtosecond wavepacket interferometry using the rotational dynamics of a trapped cold molecular ion
(2015)
A Ramsey-type interferometer is suggested, employing a cold trapped ion and two time-delayed offresonant
femtosecond laser pulses. The laser light couples to the molecular polarization anisotropy,
inducing rotational wavepacket dynamics. An interferogram is obtained from the delay dependent
populations of the final field-free rotational states. Current experimental capabilities for cooling and
preparation of the initial state are found to yield an interferogram visibility of more than 80%. The
interferograms can ...

Surface modifications of nanocrystalline diamond films and their functionalization with phthalocyanines
(2016-06-30)
Boron-doped diamond is a promising electrode material for a number of applications providing efficient carrier transport, a high stability of the electrolytic performance with time, a possibility for dye-sensitizing with photosensitive molecules, etc. It can be functionalized with electron donor molecules, like phthalocyanines or porphyrins, for the development of light energy conversion systems. For effective attachment of such molecules, the diamond surface has to be modified by plasma- or photo-chemical processes ...

Fabrication of diamond nanostructures and investigation of the imbedded NV centers
(2015-02-24)
Diamant ist ein Material mit vielen außerordentlichen Eigenschaften, die ihn zu einem äußerst vielversprechenden Kandidaten für Anwendungen in Wissen-schaft und Technik machen. In den letzten Jahren wurde Diamant häufig als einzigartige Plattform für neue Anwendungen beispielsweise in der Quanteninformationstechnologie (QIT) oder in der Magnetometrie im Nanometermaßstab eingesetzt, wobei einer der wichtigsten lumineszierenden Gitterdefekte im Diamantgitter eingesetzt wird. Dabei handelt es sich um die sogenannten ...

1.55 µm High-Speed QDs Lasers for Optical Telecommunication Applications
(2014-12-19)
In this work investigation of the QDs formation and the fabrication of QD based semiconductor lasers for telecom applications are presented. InAs QDs grown on AlGaInAs lattice matched to InP substrates are used to fabricate lasers operating at 1.55 µm, which is the central wavelength for far distance data transmission. This wavelength is used due to its minimum attenuation in standard glass fibers.
The incorporation of QDs in this material system is more complicated in comparison to InAs QDs in the GaAs system. Due ...

Excitation of Phonons in Solids and Nanostructures by Intense Laser and XUV Pulses and by Low Energy Atomic Collision
(2016-02-17)
Intensive, ultrakurze Laserpulse regen Festkörper in einen Zustand an, in dem die Elektronen hohe Temperaturen erlangen, während das Gitter kalt bleibt. Die heißen Elektronen beeinflussen das sog. Laser-angeregte interatomare Potential bzw. die Potentialenergiefläche, auf der die Ionen sich bewegen. Dieses kann neben anderen ultrakurzen Prozessen zu Änderungen der Phononfrequenzen (phonon softening oder phonon hardening) führen. Viele ultrakurze strukturelle Phänomene in Festkörpern hängen bei hohen Laseranregungen ...

Molecular Beam Epitaxial Growth of III-V Semiconductor Nanostructures on Silicon Substrates
(2013-07-24)
The main focus and concerns of this PhD thesis is the growth of III-V semiconductor nanostructures (Quantum dots (QDs) and quantum dashes) on silicon substrates using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) technique. The investigation of influence of the major growth parameters on their basic properties (density, geometry, composition, size etc.) and the systematic haracterization of their structural and optical properties are the core of the research work. The monolithic integration of III-V optoelectronic devices with silicon ...

Optimal Control of Quantum Information Tasks in Open Quantum Systems
(2020-07-30)
Every quantum system inevitably interacts with its environment. This is a fundamental requirement that allows us to control, measure and, in general, interact with quantum systems. In that respect, a quantum system's openness can be interpreted as prerequisite that enables quantum technologies in the first place. The latter are built to harness the intrinsic quantum mechanical behavior of quantum devices in order to build new, powerful technologies. However, a quantum system's openness also causes it to interact ...

Optimal control theory for a unitary operation under dissipative evolution
(2014)
We show that optimizing a quantum gate for an open quantum system requires the time evolution of only three states irrespective of the dimension of Hilbert space. This represents a significant reduction in computational resources compared to the complete basis of Liouville space that is commonly believed necessary for this task. The reduction is based on two observations: the target is not a general dynamical map but a unitary operation; and the time evolution of two properly chosen states is sufficient to distinguish ...
