Abstract
Semiconductor quantum optics is on the leap from the lab to real world applications. To advance the development of novel devices such as non-classical light sources and nanolasers based on semiconductor quantum dots, device engineers will need simulation tools that combine classical device physics with cavity quantum electrodynamics. This thesis is focused on the device scale modeling and numerical simulation of electrically driven quantum light sources based on semiconductor quantum dots. Therefore a broad range of different topics is treated and connected to methodically advance the state-of-the-art—from semi-classical device physics and elements of non-equilibrium thermodynamics to the theory of open quantum systems.
