Quantum dots (QDs) are semiconducting nanoparticles important due to their size-tunable excitation energy and optical properties: in their self-assembled form they can host electronic or spin qubit states with a decent lifetime . To model electronic processes like the interatomic Coulombic decay (ICD) , in QDs, we apply the Multiconfiguration Time-Dependent Hartree (MCTDH) algorithm in an antisymmetrized version. ICD is described as a decay process between two or more atomic species facilitated by the long-range Coulomb interaction between electrons at different spatial locations: on the one hand, an electron in a high energy state relaxes to a lower energy state while the energy is transferred to an electron neighbour, which is simultaneously ionised. The system studied in this work consists of a one-dimensional double-well GaAs potential. It is modeled to accommodate different electronic levels (s to d energy levels) and allows ICD to occur among higher excited states.
