We study a single-level quantum dot strongly coupled to a superconducting lead and tunnel-coupled to a normal electrode which can exchange energy with a single-mode resonator. We show that a such system can sustain lasing characterized by a sub-Poissonian Fock-state distribution of the resonator. The lasing regime is clearly identifiable in the subgap transport regime: in the resonant case, the current is pinned to the maximum value achievable in this hybrid nanostructure.

We characterize the positively charged exciton (X1+) in single InGaAs quantum dots using resonant laser spectroscopy. Three samples with different dopant species (Be or C as acceptors, Si as a donor) are compared. The p-doped samples exhibit larger i
nhomogeneous broadening (x3) and smaller absorption contrast (x10) than the n-doped sample. For X1+ in the Be-doped sample, a dot dependent non-linear Fano effect is observed, demonstrating coupling to degenerate continuum states. However, for the C-doped sample the X1+ lineshape and saturation broadening follows isolated atomic transition behaviour. This C-doped device structure is useful for single hole spin initialization, manipulation, and measurement.
We investigate the effects of Coulomb interaction on charge transfer through a quantum dot attached to a normal and a superconducting lead. While for voltages much larger than the gap we recover the usual result for normal conductors, for voltages mu
ch smaller than the gap superconducting correlations lead to a drastically different behavior. Especially, the usual charge doubling in the normal case is reflected in the occurence of quartets due to the onsite interaction.
We measured the polarization memory of excitonic and biexcitonic optical transitions from single quantum dots at either positive, negative or neutral charge states. Positive, negative and no circular or linear polarization memory was observed for var
ious spectral lines, under the same quasi-resonant excitation below the wetting layer band-gap. We developed a model which explains both qualitatively and quantitatively the experimentally measured polarization spectrum for all these optical transitions. We consider quite generally the loss of spin orientation of the photogenerated electron-hole pair during their relaxation towards the many-carrier ground states. Our analysis unambiguously demonstrates that while electrons maintain their initial spin polarization to a large degree, holes completely dephase.
Artificial lattices created by assembling atoms on a surface with scanning tunneling microscopy present a platform to create matter with tailored electronic, magnetic and topological properties. However, such artificial lattices studies to date have
focused exclusively on surfaces with weak spin-orbit coupling. Here, we created artificial and coupled quantum dots by fabricating quantum corrals from iron atoms on the prototypical Rashba surface alloy, BiCu2, using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy. We quantified the quantum confinement of such quantum dots with various diameter and related this to the spatially dependent density of states, using scanning tunneling spectroscopy. We found that the density of states shows complex distributions beyond the typical isotropic patterns seen in radially symmetric structures on (111) noble metal surfaces. We related these to the energy-dependent interplay of the confinement potential with the hexagonal warping and multiple intra- and interband scattering vectors, which we simulated with a particle-in-a-box model that considers the Rashba-type band structure of BiCu2. Based on these results, we studied the effect of coupling two quantum dots and exploited the resultant anisotropic coupling derived from the symmetry of the various scattering channels. The large anisotropy and spin-orbit coupling provided by the BiCu2 platform are two key ingredients toward creation of correlated artificial lattices with non-trivial topology.
Epitaxial semiconductor-superconductor hybrid materials are an excellent basis for studying mesoscopic and topological superconductivity, as the semiconductor inherits a hard superconducting gap while retaining tunable carrier density. Here, we inves
tigate double-quantum-dot devices made from InAs nanowires with a patterned epitaxial Al two-facet shell that proximitizes two gate-defined segments along the nanowire. We follow the evolution of mesoscopic superconductivity and charging energy in this system as a function of magnetic field and voltage-tuned barriers. Inter-dot coupling is varied from strong to weak using side gates, and the ground state is varied between normal, superconducting, and topological regimes by applying a magnetic field. We identify the topological transition by tracking the spacing between successive cotunneling peaks as a function of axial magnetic field and show that the individual dots host weakly hybridized Majorana modes.
