  • A tutorial on four-wave mixing spectroscopy

    Fundamentals of heterodyne wave mixing spectroscopy: a tutorial Daniel Groll, Thilo Hahn, Paweł Machnikowski, Tilmann Kuhn, Jacek Kasprzak, and Daniel Wigger https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.19750 We provide a theoretical and experimental overview of heterodyne wave mixing spectroscopy, focusing mainly on four-wave mixing (FWM). We start with the fundamental theory of optically driven two-level systems and then provide a…

  • Precision of the acoustic control of single-photon scattering with semiconductor quantum dots Rafał A. Bogaczewicz and Paweł Machnikowski Optics Letters 50, 888 (2025) Acoustic modulation of quantum dots (QDs) allows one to control the scattering of photons. We formulate the theory of low-intensity resonance fluorescence (RF) in the presence of noise and show that a…

  • Launching the Maestro project

    Our project Quantum Acoustooptics of Hybrid Nanosystems (NCN Maestro, 2024-2028, Grant No. 2023/50/A/ST3/00511) was started on 10th July 2024. We will study the properties of solid-state quantum emitters interacting simultaneously with light and lattice vibrations (sound). Our goal is to develop methods for transducing quantum information between acoustic and optical (or microwave) degrees of freedom…
