We create lateral quantum dots by depleting the two-dimensional electron<br />
system of an AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure with lithographically<br />
defined Schottky gates. The advantage of this lateral approach is the<br />
flexibility in number and orientation of leads and gates. Multiple quantum<br />
dots can be coupled capacitively or via tunnel barriers. The coupling<br />
strengths and the number of free charge carriers per dot are tuned by<br />
means of gate voltages. A double quantum dot is often regarded as an<br />
artificial molecule, as the discrete states of both dots split into molecular<br />
bonding and antibonding states. These form a two-level system that is<br />
applicable as a qubit for quantum information processing. The complexity<br />
of the molecular states increases with the number of free electrons per<br />
dot. Hence, we aim to reduce the dot sizes and integrate suitable tools to<br />
read out the number of charge carriers (e.g. a quantum point contact).<br />
The molecular states are probed by analysing the charging diagram of<br />
the system. In addition we will attempt to couple more than two quantum<br />
dots to study the interaction of several qubits. First results will be<br />
presented.<br />

Electron transport in mesoscopic systems in semiconductors with typical<br />
length scales shorter than the mean free path can be assumed to<br />
be ballistic. Recent experimental and theoretical work has revealed an<br />
unexpected rectification effect based on ballistic transport in mesoscopic<br />
cross-junctions with broken symmetry[1,2,3].<br />
In our simplified model[2] a crucial role is played by the energydependence<br />
of the number of current-carrying modes. In a more detailed<br />
description this corresponds to the energy-dependence of the scattering<br />
coefficients. Here we present numerical results for the scattering wavefunctions<br />
in ballistic rectifyers.<br />

We present a preparation method to realise transport measurements<br />
on evenly curved two-dimensional electron systems (2 DESs). By<br />
combining the method of self-rolling strained double-layers [1,2] with<br />
a special lithographic procedure we are able to roll-in and contact<br />
AlGaAs/GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well structures into tubes or curved<br />
lamellas, respectively. Applying a magnetic field to such structures<br />
results in a strong modulation with changing sign of the magnetic field<br />
components perpendicular to the curved 2 DES plane. Our preparation<br />
method allows transport measurements along or perpendicular to<br />
this modulation. We present and discuss our first magneto-transport<br />
measurements on such rolled 2 DESs.<br />

Using a supersymmetry formalism we derive a new supermatrix representation<br />
of the generating functional for the problem of electron motion<br />
in an external potential. Non-linear sigma models derived previously for<br />
disordered systems can be obtained from this model using a coarse graining<br />
procedure. As an example we treat smooth disorder in an infinite system.<br />
As a new application, we consider scattering on strong impurities<br />
for which the Born approximation cannot be used. Possible applications<br />
to quantum chaotic systems and the interacting disordered electron gas<br />
will be discussed.<br />

Space-dependent optical and electronic properties of semiconductor<br />

The optical and electronic properties of a semiconductor heterostructure<br />
are modified in the vicinity of a structured dielectric environment,<br />
e.g., a photonic crystal [1-3]. In such structures the band gap and the<br />
Coulomb interaction potential are space dependent, which results in a<br />
spatial variation of the spectral position of the exciton resonance and its<br />
binding energy [2]. Therefore one can create spatially non-homogeneous<br />
carrier distributions by spectrally selective optical excitation [3]. Following<br />
the excitation, the carrier distributions show initially an interesting<br />
coherent wave packet dynamics, before they eventually approach an incoherent<br />
thermal quasi-equilibrium distribution.<br />

Strongly localized discrete solitons in photonic crystal defect<br />
chains — •Rumen Iliew, Christoph Etrich, Ulf Peschel, and<br />

We found strongly localized solitons in a linear chain of coupled point<br />
defects embedded in a Kerr-type nonlinear photonic crystal.<br />
The dynamics of such a coupled-resonator optical waveguide (CROW)<br />
can be described in tight-binding approximation by a set of coupled<br />
modal equations [1] which were shown to allow for strongly localized soliton<br />
solutions [2]. To compare these results with the full system, for the<br />
first time, to our knowledge, the temporal dynamics of localized excitations<br />
is investigated in a two-dimensional (2D) nonlinear photonic crystal<br />
by employing 2D TM finite-difference time-domain simulations including<br />
Kerr-nonlinearity. Our model system is a 2D hexagonal photonic crystal<br />
with a TM photonic band gap in the linear regime where a chain<br />
of point-defects was embedded. Depending on the pump parameters we<br />
found strongly localized solitons in the nonlinear regime at frequencies<br />
below the miniband, as predicted by the tight-binding approach.<br />
We will present results of FDTD simulations and compare them against<br />
the results obtained from the modal equations.<br />
