22. To reproduce the experimental conditions of Ref. 10, a harmonic confinement hwo of around 6 meV should be taken. However, we choose a higher value, 12 meV, in order to be closer to the strong confinement situation holding for self-assembled qdots (Ref. 15), which is the immediate interest of planned experiments.

25. f (see Fig. 9), where both |X〉 (an exciton state) and |f〉 (a final collective state) are exact eigenstates of the Hamiltonian. This fact suggests the existence of a hidden or approximate symmetry as in the case of electron-hole systems in a strong magnetic field. See, for example, I.V. Lerner and Yu.E. Lozovik, Sov. Phys. Solid State 25, 874 (1983).
