Excitation of an electronic band structure by a single-photon Fock state

In this report, we consider a semiconductor nanostructure in an optical cavity that is coupled to quantum light. We describe the semiconductor nanostructure with a parabolic band structure in a 1D k-space, while we assume a single-mode quantum field. The 1D<br> system is chosen for simplicity in both the analytical and the numerical treatment and paves the way for the description of 2D structures in the future. Therefore, instead of using parameters which are realistic for 1D systems, we rather use parameters which qualitatively correspond to 2D GaAs structures.
