Wave propagation of Rabi oscillations in one-dimensional quantum dot chain. (English) Zbl 1236.78016

Summary: Interaction of traveling wave of classic light with 1D-chain of coupled quantum dots (QDs) in the strong coupling regime is theoretically considered. The effect of space propagation of Rabi oscillations in the form of traveling waves and wave packets is predicted introducing thus a new family of quasi-particles. Physical interpretation of the effect is given and principles of its experimental observation are discussed.
