This chapter provides a brief introduction to semiconductor quantum dots and their utilization in semiconductor quantum optics for the generation of quantum light. Moreover, it motivates the combination of classical and fully quantum mechanical modeling approaches for the device-scale simulation of quantum light emitting diodes to obtain comprehensive multi-physics simulation tools.

    Previously known phenomena like, e.g., the photoelectric effect can be explained by a semi-classical conception that requires only the quantization of matter. The electromagnetic field can be treated classically according to Maxwell’s equations [16, 78].
