110 Conclusion<br />

due to <strong>phonon</strong> van–Hove singularities, or completely suppressed by de<strong>coupling</strong><br />

the double dot from the <strong>phonon</strong> environment. The latter de<strong>coupling</strong> is caused by<br />

zeros in the <strong>electron</strong>-<strong>phonon</strong> interaction potentials for certain energies rather than<br />

gaps in the <strong>phonon</strong> density of states.<br />

Thus, by tuning the level splitting ∆ via gate voltages, one can either control<br />

<strong>electron</strong> dephasing in double dot qubit systems, or strongly increase emission into<br />

<strong>phonon</strong> modes with characteristic angular distribution. Both cases are desirable in<br />

a possible future quantum computation setup, where the strong <strong>phonon</strong> dissipation<br />

would allow an accelerated relaxation of the qubit during initialisation. On the<br />

other h<strong>and</strong>, the suppressed <strong>coupling</strong> to <strong>phonon</strong>s could provide a reasonably long<br />

phase coherence time for subsequent quantum gate operations.
