Quantum key distribution using a triggered quantum dot source emitting near 1.3μm

We report the distribution of a cryptographic key, secure from photon number splitting attacks, over 35km of optical fiber using single photons from an InAs quantum dot emitting ∼1.3μm in a pillar microcavity. Using below GaAs-bandgap optical excitation, we demonstrate suppression of multiphoton emission to 10% of the Poissonian level without detector dark count subtraction. The source is incorporated into a phase encoded interferometric scheme implementing the BB84 protocol for key distribution over standard telecommunication optical fiber. We show a transmission distance advantage over that possible with (length-optimized) uniform intensity weak coherent pulses at 1310nm in the same system.

Photon entanglement generation and teleportation using semiconductor quantum dots (Conference Presentation)

Armando Rastelli, Thomas Fromherz

Among different solid-state emitters of quantum light, epitaxial GaAs quantum dots (QDs) have recently emerged as nearly-ideal sources of triggered polarization entangled photon pairs [1]. This property, combined with the strongly suppressed probability of multiphoton emission under resonant excitation [2] has allowed the implementation of quantum teleportation using photons subsequently emitted by a single QD [3]. In this talk I will discuss the peculiar properties of GaAs QDs [4,5], their performance as emitters of both single and entangled photons, as well as possible methods to engineer their light emission characteristics [1,4] to meet the demanding requirements imposed by photonic quantum technologies.
