Quantum control in semiconductors: the first experimental demonstration of adiabatic inversion in a semiconductor quantum dot. The apparatus is shown schematically (top left) and the microscope is shown in the photo. Results for measured exciton ionisation current are shown (bottom left) with a theoretical model (bottom right).
