Bursts of polarised single photons from atom-cavity sources

Abstract Photonic qubits play an instrumental role in the development of advanced quantum technologies, including networking, boson sampling and measurement based computing. A promising framework for deterministic production indistinguishable single photons is atomic emitter coupled to a mode high finesse optical cavity. Polarisation control important cornerstone, particularly when polarisation defines state bit. Here, we propose scheme producing bursts polarised by coupling generalised cavity, exploiting particular choice quantisation axis. In connection with two re-preparation methods, simulations predict ten-photon coincidence count rates on order 1 kHz 87 mathvariant="normal">R mathvariant="normal">b atoms trapped art This paves way novel n -photon experiments atom-cavity sources.
