Quantum system abruptly driven from its stationary phase can reveal nontrivial dynamics upon approaching a new final state. We investigate here such dynamics for a correlated quantum dot sandwiched between the metallic and superconducting leads, considering two types of quenches feasible experimentally. In particular, we examine an interplay between the proximity induced electron pairing with correlations caused by the on-dot Coulomb repulsion. We discuss the time-dependent charge occupancy, complex order parameter, transient currents, and analyze evolution of the subgap quasiparticles which could be empirically observed in the tunneling conductance.

Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) offer a platform to explore the physics of quantum electronics including spins. Electron spins in QDs are considered good candidates for quantum bits in quantum information processing, and spin control and readout hav e been established down to a single electron level. We use these techniques to explore spin dynamics in a hybrid system, namely a QD coupled to a two dimensional electronic reservoir. The proximity of the lead results in relaxation dynamics of both charge and spin, the mechanism of which is revealed by comparing the charge and spin signal. For example, higher order charge tunneling events can be monitored by observing the spin. We expect these results to stimulate further exploration of spin dynamics in QD-lead hybrid systems and expand the possibilities for controlled spin manipulations.
We analyze time evolution of charge and spin states in a quantum dot coupled to an electric reservoir. Utilizing high-speed single-electron detection, we focus on dynamics induced by the first-order tunneling. We find that there is a difference betwe en the spin and the charge relaxation: the former appears slower than the latter. The difference depends on the Fermi occupation factor and the spin relaxation becomes slower when the energy level of the quantum dot is lowered. We explain this behavior by a theory which includes the first-order tunneling processes. We conduct detailed comparison of the experiment and the theory with changing the energy of the quantum dot levels, and the theory can reproduce the experimental results.

An ensemble of emitters can behave significantly different from its individual constituents when interacting coherently via a common light field. After excitation, collective coupling gives rise to an intriguing many-body quantum phenomenon, resultin g in short, intense bursts of light: so-called superfluorescence. Because it requires a fine balance of interaction between the emitters and their decoupling from the environment, together with close identity of the individual emitters, superfluorescence has thus far been observed only in a limited number of systems, such as atomic and molecular gases and semiconductor crystals, and could not be harnessed for applications. For colloidal nanocrystals, however, which are of increasing relevance in a number of opto-electronic applications, the generation of superfluorescent light was precluded by inhomogeneous emission broadening, low oscillator strength, and fast exciton dephasing. Using caesium lead halide (CsPbX3, X = Cl, Br) perovskite nanocrystals that are self-organized into highly ordered three-dimensional superlattices allows us to observe key signatures of superfluorescence: red-shifted emission with more than ten-fold accelerated radiative decay, extension of the first-order coherence time by more than a factor of four, photon bunching, and delayed emission pulses with Burnham-Chiao ringing behaviour at high excitation density. These mesoscopically extended coherent states can be employed to boost opto-electronic device performances and enable entangled multi-photon quantum light sources.

The thermopower of a Kondo-correlated gate-defined quantum dot is studied using a current heating technique. In the presence of spin correlations the thermopower shows a clear deviation from the semiclassical Mott relation between thermopower and con ductivity. The strong thermopower signal indicates a significant asymmetry in the spectral density of states of the Kondo resonance with respect to the Fermi energies of the reservoirs. The observed behavior can be explained within the framework of an Anderson-impurity model.

Dynamical processes induced by the external time-dependent fields can provide valuable insight into the characteristic energy scales of a given physical system. We investigate them here in a nanoscopic heterostructure, consisting of the double quantu m dot coupled in series to the superconducting and the metallic reservoirs, analyzing its response to (i)~abrupt bias voltage applied across the junction, (ii) sudden change of the energy levels, and imposed by (iii)~their periodic driving. We explore subgap properties of this setup which are strictly related to the in-gap quasiparticles and discuss their signatures manifested in the time-dependent charge currents. The characteristic multi-mode oscillations, their beating patters and photon-assisted harmonics reveal a rich spectrum of dynamical features that might be important for designing the superconducting qubits.
