This paper presents an inductive method for the microscopic description of quantum dot (QD) QED. Our description reproduces known effects up to an arbitrary accuracy, and is extendable to typical semiconductor effects, like many electron‐ and phonon‐interactions. As an application, this method is used to theoretically examine quantum coherence phenomena and their impact on photon statistics for a Λ‐type semiconductor QD strongly coupled to a single mode cavity and simultaneously excited with an external laser.
