TL;DR: It is found that the susceptibility of the quantum dot exhibits optical transparency for specific frequencies, suggesting that in such a hybrid system quantum coherence can reverse the course of energy transfer, allowing flow of energy from the metallic nanoparticle to the quantumdot.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the four-wave mixing effect in a coupled semiconductor quantum dot-spherical metal nanoparticle structure and found that there is a critical distance that changes the form of the spectrum.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors theoretically studied the nonlinear optical effects of a semiconductor quantum dot and a spherical metal nanoparticle coupled via long-range Coulomb interaction and derived closed-form analytical expressions for the susceptibilities of the quantum dot, the metal nanoparticles, and the entire coupled system, up to fifth order.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors theoretically study the optical properties of a hybrid nanostructure consisting of a metal nanoparticle and a semiconductor quantum dot and derive a closed-form solution for the energy absorption spectra of the hybrid system.

TL;DR: In this paper, the potential for optimal control of a symmetric double quantum-dot structure interacting with a single pulsed electromagnetic field was studied, and the authors obtained general analytical expressions for the optimal pulse shapes that lead to global maximization of the final population of the target state and of the time-averaged population in the quantum dot structure.
