8. Model results for electrical gates on CQDs have been discussed in G. Burkard et al., Phys. Rev. B 62, 2581 (2000); electric field control of CQDs has been studied in I. Shtrichman et al., Phys. Rev. B 65, 081303 (2002), but evidence for coherent coupling was not obtained there.

10. Coherent coupling for pairs of quantum wells has been studied previously, including the onset of THz emission due to tunneling. See, for example, J. Shah, Ultrafast Spectroscopy of Semiconductors and Semiconductor Nanostructures (Springer, New York, 1999), Chapt. 2.

12. The detailed structures of vertical CQDs are not yet known well. Other PL data interpretations are possible such as dot coupled to the wetting layer of other dot.
13. Interactions between QDs in systems based on gated quantum wells also have been seen, but their coupling typically is small ∼1 meV.

15. The dephasing of excitons in single QDs has been studied in P. Borri et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 157401 (2001); and compared to that in CQDs in 91, 267401 (2003).

19. The basis functions |...〉 in Eq. (1) are products of ortho-normalized single electron and hole states for isolated dots that include the effect of the other's potential [14].
20. eh is the e-h Coulomb interaction [14].
21. The parameters were obtained from C. Pryor, Phys. Rev. B 60, 2869 (1999), using interpolations for 60% In concentration. Potential offset in growth direction for electrons and holes were 0.35 and 0.07 eV respectively; the lateral potentials were taken to be parabolic with quantization energies of 20 meV for electrons and holes; the masses in lateral direction for both electrons and holes were 0.038 and those in growth direction were 0.06 and 0.4 for electrons and holes, respectively.

23. Examples of CQDs have also been studied in which the energies of the two individual QDs are different at E = 0 and are brought into resonance with a field.
