Paper Abstract
The investigation of the intersubband dynamics occurring in the conduction band of doped semiconductor quantum
dots (QD's) has emerged as a powerful tool to probe their electronic structure and properties. Here, the
temperature, the dephasing and the relaxation dynamics are of interest, both from a fundamental point of view
but also regarding the performance of QD-based optoelectronic devices. Whereas the lineshape of QD interband
transitions is well described by the independent boson model treating a diagonal electron-phonon coupling.
For intraband transitions both diagonal and non-diagonal electron-phonon coupling are relevant. Typically,
such problems involving diagonal and non-diagonal coupling are treated within approximate or perturbative
approaches. Here, we present a fully quantized theory to calculate the coupled electron-phonon dynamics based
on a non-perturbative equation of motion approach reproducing also correct results for limits of known exactly
solvable models.
