Semiconductor quantum dots ‘reawaken’ predicted Rabi oscillations, boosting quantum control

Physicists at Paderborn University have, for the first time, experimentally demonstrated the so-called “return” of Rabi oscillations in semiconductor quantum dots. The phenomenon, which was first predicted theoretically in 2007, describes the decrease in the emission intensity of the quantum dots, which are initially damped by interactions with the lattice vibrations of a solid (phonons).
