Anti-Zeno purification of spin baths by quantum probe measurements

Spin Light Emitting Diode Based on Exciton Fine Structure Tuning in Quantum Dots

We propose a concept of quantum dot based light emitting diode that produces circularly polarized light without magnetic contacts due to the hyperfine interaction at the crossing of the exciton levels in a weak magnetic field. The electroluminescence circular polarization degree can reach 100%. The concept is compatible with the micropillar cavities, which allows for the generation of single circularly polarized photons. Second order photon correlation function includes information about the nuclear spin dynamics in the quantum dot, and the nuclear spin state can be purified by the quantum measurement backaction.
