Engineered quantum dot single-photon sources.
Fast, high efficiency and low error single-photon sources are required for the implementation of a number of quantum information processing applications. The fastest triggered single-photon sources to date have been demonstrated using epitaxially grown semiconductor quantum dots (QDs), which can be conveniently integrated with optical microcavities. Recent advances in QD technology, including d...
متن کاملQuantum entanglement – multi-photon sources
Entanglement lies in the heart of almost all methods of quantum communication and computation. Efficient and economical generation of entangled states of light are of crucial importance for the success of future quantum communication applications. This article introduces the experimental methods to produce entangled light modes both in the discrete and continuous variable regime.
متن کاملSingle-Photon Superradiance from a Quantum Dot.
We report on the observation of single-photon superradiance from an exciton in a semiconductor quantum dot. The confinement by the quantum dot is strong enough for it to mimic a two-level atom, yet sufficiently weak to ensure superradiance. The electrostatic interaction between the electron and the hole comprising the exciton gives rise to an anharmonic spectrum, which we exploit to prepare the...
متن کاملMulti-photon absorption limits to heralded single photon sources
Single photons are of paramount importance to future quantum technologies, including quantum communication and computation. Nonlinear photonic devices using parametric processes offer a straightforward route to generating photons, however additional nonlinear processes may come into play and interfere with these sources. Here we analyse spontaneous four-wave mixing (SFWM) sources in the presenc...
متن کاملMulti-photon entanglement from distant single photon sources on demand
We describe a scheme that allows for the generation of any desired N-photon state on demand. Under ideal conditions, this requires only N single photon sources, laser pulses and linear optics elements. First, the sources should be initialised with the help of single-qubit rotations and repeat-until-success two-qubit quantum gates [Lim et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 030305 (2005)]. Afterwards, the...
