← ScienceWhich phenomenon limits the lifetime of electrons trapped in a quantum dot under continuous laser excitation?
A)Phonon-assisted interband scattering
B)Collisional broadening of energy levels
C)Auger recombination with other carriers✓
D)Quantum entanglement with distant qubits
💡 Explanation
Under laser excitation, multiple electrons can populate the quantum dot, and nonradiative Auger recombination occurs because the energy from one electron-hole recombination is transferred to another electron, ejecting it from the dot. Therefore Auger recombination limits the electron lifetime, rather than scattering, broadening, or entanglement, which affect other quantum properties.
