  The degree of entanglement of an electron with a hole in a vertically coupled
self-assembled dot molecule is shown to be tunable by an external electric
field. Using atomistic pseudopotential calculations followed by a configuration
interaction many-body treatment of correlations, we calculate the electronic
states, degree of entanglement and optical absorption. We offer a novel way to
spectroscopically detect the magnitude of electric field needed to maximize the
entanglement.
