Abstract
We show how the electronic states of quantum wires and quantum dots can be evaluated exactly starting from the profile of the nanostructure observed by transmission electron microscopy, scanning tunneling microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The calculated quantization energies reproduce the energy position of the luminescence resonances in the optical spectra of different samples, without fitting parameters.
