Lithographic quantum dots (QDs) are highly controllable few-level quantum systems created in semiconductor nanoelectronic devices, with a variety of scientific applications. These include technologically-driven applications like quantum computing and more fundamental applications in which they serve as a platform for exploring basic many-body physics. This document is a brief summary of my Ph.D. research so far and the directions with which I intend to continue it. Highlights include theoretical efforts to understand and design qubits in germanium hole QDs, as well as explorations of the possibility of using QDs coupled to nearby baths for analog simulation of quantum impurity models.
