Spin-photon entanglement and photonic cluster states generation with a semiconductor quantum dot in a cavity

Semiconductor quantum dots have emerged as excellent artificial atoms to both generate and manipulate quantum light. When embedded in cavities, they can generate single photons and entangled photons with unparalleled efficiency and high quantum purity. In this talk, I will discuss how such devices can be used to generate strings of many entangled photons. The method, leveraging the spin-selective optical transition in a charged quantum dot, leads to the generation of indistinguishable photons in linear cluster states or GHZ states at high rates, realizing an important milestone for scaling-up optical quantum technologies.

On-Demand Semiconductor Source of Entangled Photons Which Simultaneously Has High Fidelity, Efficiency, and Indistinguishability

An outstanding goal in quantum optics and scalable photonic quantum technology is to develop a source that each time emits one and only one entangled photon pair with simultaneously high entanglement fidelity, extraction efficiency, and photon indistinguishability. By coherent two-photon excitation of a single InGaAs quantum dot coupled to a circular Bragg grating bull's-eye cavity with a broadband high Purcell factor of up to 11.3, we generate entangled photon pairs with a state fidelity of 0.90(1), pair generation rate of 0.59(1), pair extraction efficiency of 0.62(6), and photon indistinguishability of 0.90(1) simultaneously. Our work will open up many applications in high-efficiency multiphoton experiments and solid-state quantum repeaters.

A deterministic source of indistinguishable photons in a cluster state

Measurement-based quantum communication relies on the availability of highly entangled multi-photon cluster states. The inbuilt redundancy in the cluster allows communication between remote nodes using repeated local measurements, compensating for photon losses and probabilistic Bell-measurements. For feasible applications, the cluster generation should be fast, deterministic, and its photons - indistinguishable. We present a novel source based on a semiconductor quantum-dot device. The dot confines a heavy-hole, precessing in a finely tuned external weak magnetic field while periodically excited by a sequence of optical pulses. Consequently, the dot emits indistinguishable polarization-entangled photons, where the field strength optimizes the entanglement. We demonstrate Gigahertz rate deterministic generation of >90% indistinguishable photons in a cluster state with more than 10 photons characteristic entanglement-length.
