Adaptive Design of Excitonic Absorption in Broken-Symmetry Quantum Wells

ORAL

Abstract

Adaptive quantum design is used to identify broken-symmetry quantum well potential profiles with optical response properties superior to previous ad-hoc solutions. This technique performs an unbiased stochastic search of configuration space. It allows us to engineer many-body excitonic wave functions and thus provides a new methodology to efficiently develop optimized quantum confined Stark effect device structures.
