Abstract in another language

The dynamics in a GaAs-type quantum dot induced by excitation with Gaussian laser pulses of arbitrary duration are calculated in the density matrix formalism using the correlation expansion. In particular the back-action of nonequilibrium phonons, i.e., the coherent phonon amplitude and the nonequilibrium phonon occupation, on the electronic two-level system are studied. We find that especially for long pulses and low temperatures nonequilibrium phonons play an important role and cannot be neglected.
