“…As we are going to show, logic gates could be performed by laser pulses with the same photon energy E L , detuned from individual dot resonances ( E L < E 1 , E 2 ), which significantly simplifies the experimental setup and reduces photobleaching (since detuned photons are not absorbed by nanocrystals). These laser pulses are designed to manipulate the Förster interaction ( V F ) between proximal dots through a Stark shift, Δ E Stark , resulting from the electric field of laser radiation. − The idea is to bring the system, initially prepared in the state |10⟩ into to a resonance with the neighboring dot, E 2 – E 1 = V F + Δ E Stark . This will induce Rabi oscillations between dots 1 and 2 and shift its eigenfunctions toward the state superposition: c 1 |10⟩ + c 2 |01⟩, c 1 |01⟩ – c 2 |10⟩.…”
