【 摘 要 】

In view of the ultrashort spatial and temporal scales involved, carrier capture processes in nanostructures are genuine quantum phenomena. To describe such processes, methods with different levels of approximations have been developed. By properly tailoring the Lindblad-based nonlinear single-particle density matrix equation provided by an alternative Markov approach, in this work we present a Lindblad superoperator to describe how the phonon-induced carrier capture affects the spatiotemporal quantum dynamics of a flying wave packet impinging on a quantum dot. We compare the results with non-Markovian quantum kinetics calculations and discuss the advantages and drawbacks of the two approaches.
