The fundamental concept of quantum coherence plays a central role
in quantum physics, cutting across disciplines of quantum optics,
atomic and condensed matter physics. Quantum coherence represents a
universal property of the quantum s- tems that applies both to
light and matter thereby tying together materials and p- nomena.
Moreover, the optical coherence can be transferred to the medium
through the light-matter interactions. Since the early days of
quantum mechanics there has been a desire to control dynamics of
quantum systems. The generation and c- trol of quantum coherence in
matter by optical means, in particular, represents a viable way to
achieve this longstanding goal and semiconductor nanostructures are
the most promising candidates for controllable quantum systems.
Optical generation and control of coherent light-matter states in
semiconductor quantum nanostructures is precisely the scope of the
present book. Recently, there has been a great deal of interest in
the subject of quantum coh- ence. We are currently witnessing
parallel growth of activities in different physical systems that
are all built around the central concept of manipulation of quantum
coherence. The burgeoning activities in solid-state systems, and
semiconductors in particular, have been strongly driven by the
unprecedented control of coherence that previously has been
demonstrated in quantum optics of atoms and molecules, and is now
taking advantage of the remarkable advances in semiconductor
fabrication technologies. A recent impetus to exploit the coherent
quantum phenomena comes from the emergence of the quantum
information paradigm.
