Introduction :motivation • Quantum computation*. use quantum mechanical phenomena ( such as superposition and entanglement ) to perform operations on data • Electronic excitations of coupled QDs*. artificial molecule (QDM)*. Förster-Dexter Resonant energy transfer
Introduction :model • Three vertically aligned InAs/GaAs QDs • A self-consistent algorithm • Schrödinger-Poisson system • Cubic eigenvalue problems • Jacobi-Davidson method and GMRES Kohn-Sham orbitals and energies of six electrons
CSDFT Density functional theory • Hohenberg and Kohn, 1964Kohn, 1998, Nobel Prize in Chemistry • Electronic structure of many-body systems • Many-body electronic wave function (3N variables) electronic density ( 3 variables ) • The binding energy of molecules in chemistryThe band structure of solids in physics
CSDFT Current spin density functional theory • Vignale and Rasolt, 1987 • Electronic structure of quantum dots in magnetic fields • Couple to spin and orbital
Total energy functional • Number of electrons : N • Total spin : S • Spin-up and spin-down : • Total density : • Constraint :
Total energy functional :kinetic energy • the electron momentum operator : • is the vector potential induced by an external magnetic field • KS orbitals and eigenvalues :

Total energy functional :hard-wall confinement potential • induced by a discontinuity of conduction-band edge of the system components
Total energy functional :Hartree potential • Coulomb’s law • Electron-electron interaction where : Permittivity of vacuum : Dielectric constant :
Total energy functional :energy of magnetic field • Landé factor : • Bohr magneton : • Paramagnetic current density :
Total energy functional :xc energy • xc energy per particle depends on the magnetic field • the external field changes the internal structure of the wave function • Vorticity :
KS Hamiltonian • To minimize the total energy of the system, a functional derivative of is taken with respect to under the constraint of the orbitals being normalized.
KS Hamiltonian where : the orientation of the electron spin along the z axis

Numerical Methods :2D problem • Principal quantum number : • Quantum number of the projection of angular momentum onto the z-axis :
Numerical Methods :2D problem • KS equations are then reduced to a 2D problem : where
Numerical Methods :2D problem • Interface conditions : • Boundary conditions :
Numerical Methods :Hartree potential • (3D) is solved by Poisson equation
Numerical Methods :Hartree potential • By cylindrical symmetry : where • Separating variables :
Numerical Methods :Hartree potential • Interface conditions : • Boundary conditions :

Numerical Algorithm :self-consistent (1) Set k = 0. At B=0, first three lowest energies : we therefore must solve (3.20) six times. At B=15, first three lowest energies : we thus solve (3.20) two times.
Numerical Algorithm :self-consistent (2) Evaluate If converges then stop. Otherwise set (3) Solve (3.21) for the Hartree potential by using GMRES. (4)
Numerical Algorithm :JD method • interior, nonsymmetric, degenerate • Instead of using deflation scheme in JD solver, we compute several eigenpairs simultaneouslyandseveral corrections are incorporated in search subspace at each iteration. • M.
