Superradiance describes the coherent collective radiation caused by the interaction between many emitters, mediated by a shared electromagnetic field. Recent experiments involving Bose–Einstein condensates coupled to high-finesse cavities and interacting quantum dots in condensed-matter have attracted attention to the superradiant regime as a fundamental step to create quantum technologies. Here, we consider a simplified description of superradiance that allows the evaluation of statistical moments. A correspondence with the classical birthday problem recovers the statistical moments for discrete time and an arbitrary number of emitters. In addition, the correspondence provides a way to calculate the degeneracy of the problem.

In this work, we study the spectral properties of electron quantum dots (QDs) confined in 2D parabolic harmonic oscillator influenced by gravity, external uniform electromagnetic field together with an Aharonov–Bohm (AB) flux field. Our calculations are based on the Nikiforov–Uvarov method and we obtain exact solutions for the energy levels and normalized wave functions. The interband optical absorption QDs of the parabolic spherical shape in GaAs is studied theoretically and the total optical absorption coefficient has been calculated by using the energy eigenvalues spectra and the corresponding wave functions.

ABSTRACTWe investigate the strength of the coupling of the electronic states with the electromagnetic field in semiconductor nanospheres, taking into account the retardation effect. We show that the coupling strength is particularly strong: the bulk properties are so enhanced that the radiative decay time can reach some 30 picoseconds for quantum dots sizes of some 30 nm.

When the size of a semiconductor is reduced by an appropriate materials processing technique to a dimension less than about twice the radius of an exciton in the bulk crystal, the band like structure of the semiconductor gives way to discrete molecular orbital electronic states. Clusters of semiconductors in a size regime lower than 2R {where R is the exciton Bohr radius; e.g. 3 nm for CdS and 7.3 nm for CdTe) are called Quantum Dots (QD) because they confine optically excited electron- hole pairs (excitons) in all three spatial dimensions. Structures based on QD are of great interest because of fast response times and non-linearity in optical switching applications.In this paper we report the first HREM analysis of the size and structure of CdTe and CdS QD formed by precipitation from a modified borosilicate glass matrix. The glass melts were quenched by pouring on brass plates, and then annealed to relieve internal stresses. QD precipitate particles were formed during subsequent "striking" heat treatments above the glass crystallization temperature, which was determined by differential thermal analysis.
