Visionary quantum information processing (QIP) requires the access to excited, i. e. non-equilibrium, charge or spin states to serve as one building block for the needed qubits. With their strong confinement, self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) are ideal candidates for qubits operating at above liquid helium temperatures. We have demonstrated an all-electrical preparation and read out technique of excited many-particle states using a nearby two-dimensional electron gas [1] as charge sensing detector [2]. This new technique is used here to investigate the dynamics of excited electron states in InAs/GaAs QDs evolving from non-equilibrium towards equilibrium configuration. These time-resolved measurements enables separating the many-particle spectrum into the contributions from different equilibrium and excited states and serve as a starting point for further investigations on the spin dynamics in an all-electrical measurement scheme.
