Anisotropic exchange interaction induced by a few photons in semiconductor microcavities
We investigate coupling of localized spins in a semiconductor quantum dot embedded in a microcavity. The cavity mode and the quantum dot exciton are coupled forming a polariton, whereas excitons interact with localized spins via exchange. The Hamiltonian, which treats all degrees of freedom quantum...
