Query: Electron-Phonon Interacation in Quantum Dots: A Solvable Model   The relaxation of electrons in quantum dots via phonon emission is hindered
by the discrete nature of the dot levels (phonon bottleneck). In order to
clarify the issue theoretically we consider a system of $N$ discrete fermionic
states (dot levels) coupled to an unlimited number of bosonic modes with the
same energy (dispersionless phonons). In analogy to the Gram-Schmidt
orthogonalization procedure, we perform a unitary transformation into new
bosonic modes. Since only $N(N+1)/2$ of them couple to the fermions, a
numerically exact treatment is possible. The formalism is applied to a GaAs
quantum dot with only two electronic levels. If close to resonance with the
phonon energy, the electronic transition shows a splitting due to quantum
mechanical level repulsion. This is driven mainly by one bosonic mode, whereas
the other two provide further polaronic renormalizations. The numerically exact
results for the electron spectral function compare favourably with an analytic
solution based on degenerate perturbation theory in the basis of shifted
oscillator states. In contrast, the widely used selfconsistent first-order Born
approximation proves insufficient in describing the rich spectral features.
