CLEO<sup>®</sup>/Europe-EQEC 2025 Coherent Control in Size Selected Semiconductor Quantum Dot Thin Films
Quantum interference [1] is a cornerstone phenomenon in quantum mechanics, arising when the probability amplitudes associated with different quantum pathways combine, leading to patterns of constructive or destructive interference. Coherent control [2] leverages this phenomenon by using external optical or electromagnetic pulses to steer the outcome of quantum interference. Through careful adjustment of the phase, amplitude, and frequency of these external pulses, it is possible to selectively enhance or suppress specific quantum transitions. This selective manipulation enables researchers to direct quantum pathways toward desired outcomes, making coherent control a powerful tool for exploring and utilizing quantum systems.
