A theoretical investigation has been made of the magnetoplasmon excitations in a quasi-one-dimensional electron system composed of vertically stacked, self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dots. The smaller length scales involved in the experiments impel us to consider a perfectly periodic system of two-dimensionally confined InAs quantum dot layers separated by GaAs spacers. Subsequent system is subjected to a two-dimensional confining (harmonic) potential in the [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] plane and an applied magnetic field (B) in the symmetric gauge. This scheme defines virtually a system of quantum wire comprised of vertically stacked quantum dots (VSQD). We derive and discuss the Dyson equation, the generalized (nonlocal and dynamic) dielectric function, and the inverse dielectric function for investigating the single-particle and collective (magnetoplasmon) excitations within the framework of (full) random-phase approximation (RPA). As an application, we study the influence of the confinement potential and the magnetic field on the component eigenfunctions, the density of states (DOS), the Fermi energy, the collective excitations, and the inverse dielectric functions. How the B-dependence of DOS validate the VSQD mimicking the realistic quantum wires, the Fermi energy oscillates as a function of the Bloch vector, the intersubband single-particle continuum bifurcates at the origin, a collective excitation emerges and propagates within the gap of the split single-particle continuum, and the alteration in the well- and barrier-widths allows to customize the excitation spectrum in the desired energy range are some of the remarkable features of this investigation. These findings demonstrate, for the very first time, the significance of investigating the system of VSQD subjected to a quantizing magnetic field. Given the edge over the planar quantum dots and the foreseen applications in the single-electron devices and quantum computation, investigating the system of VSQD is deemed vital. The results suggest exploiting magnetoplasmon qubits to be a potential option for implementing the solemn idea of quantum state transfer in devising quantum gates for the quantum computation and quantum communication networks.

Abstract The size and positions of regions of line localization and the magnetic-field (0–10 T) dependence of the low-temperature (10 K) photoluminescence spectra of single InP/GaInP quantum dots with a number of electrons of N = 5–7 and a Wigner–Seitz radius of ~2.5 are determined using a near-field scanning optical microscope. The formation of composite fermion molecules with a size coinciding with that of localization regions and bond lengths of ~30 and 50 nm, respectively, at a Landau-level filling factor from 1/2 to 2/7 in zero magnetic field is established. At N = 6, the pairing and rearrangement of composite fermions under photoexcitation are found, which offers opportunities for the use of InP/GaInP quantum dots to create a magnetic-field-free topological quantum gate.
