Abstract:

We study numerically the Berry phase in semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) that is induced by letting the dots to move adiabatically in a closed loop in the 2D plane along the circular trajectory. We show that the Berry phase is highly sensitive to the Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit lengths. Based on the Finite Element Method, we solve the Schr¨odinger equation and investigate the evolution of the spin dynamics during the adiabatic transport of the QDs in the 2D plane along circular trajectory. Results of numerical simulations are discussed in detail, indicating that this work might be used for the realization of solid state quantum information processing.
