Abstract
Phys. Rev. A 62, 12305 (2000) We show how optically-driven coupled quantum dots can be used to prepare
maximally entangled Bell and Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states. Manipulation
of the strength and duration of the selective light-pulses needed for producing
these highly entangled states provides us with crucial elements for the
processing of solid-state based quantum information. Theoretical predictions
suggest that several hundred single quantum bit rotations and Controlled-Not
gates could be performed before decoherence of the excitonic states takes
place.
