The Effects of Electric Field on a Triangular Bound Potential Quantum Dot Qubit

On the condition of electron-LO-phonon strong coupling in a triangular bound potential quantum dot, we obtain the eigenenergy and eigenfuctions of the ground state and the first-excited state by using the Pekar type of variational method. This two-level system in a quantum dot can be employed as a qubit, which is a basic unit for quantum information operation and storage. Our numerical results indicate that the oscillation period of this qubit is an increasing function of the confinement length and the electric field. The influence of electric field on the period of oscillation becomes greater when the confinement length is increased. The electron probability density of the qubit is an increasing function of the electron-LO-phonon coupling constant. On the contrary, it is a decreasing function of the electric field. Meanwhile, the electron probability density varies periodically with the polar angle.
