In recent years, quantum dots have shown promise as novel semiconductors in a wide array of consumer applications, particularly in areas that require a high degree of control in their optical properties. Modeling the collective response of such many-dot systems due to externally-tuned electromagnetic pulses necessarily requires methodologies that accurately capture both electromagnetic interactions between dots as well as their effects on the time-evolution of each dot.
