description

The anharmonicity-induced relaxation of a polaron in a quantum dot is analyzed using the Davydov diagonalization method, including the coherent renormalization of the relevant third-order phonon interaction. The resulting relaxation time for a small GaAs/InAs self-assembled quantum dot turns out to be a few times longer than that found previously by a perturbative method.
