Abstract
The design of electrically driven quantum light sources based on semiconductor quantum dots, such as single-photon emitters and nanolasers, asks for modeling approaches combining classical device physics with cavity quantum electrodynamics. In particular, one has to connect the well-established fields of semi-classical semiconductor transport theory and the theory of open quantum systems. We present a first step in this direction by coupling the van Roosbroeck system with a quantum master equation in Lindblad form. The resulting hybrid quantum-classical system obeys the fundamental laws of non-equilibrium thermodynamics and provides a comprehensive description of quantum dot devices on multiple scales: It enables the calculation of quantum optical figures of merit (e.g. the second order intensity correlation function) together with the spatially resolved simulation of the current flow in realistic semiconductor device geometries in a unified way.
