Ultrafast electric control of cavity mediated single-photon and photon-pair generation with semiconductor quantum dots

David Bauch, Dirk Heinze, Jens Förstner +2 more

Employing the ultrafast control of electronic states of a semiconductor quantum dot in a cavity, we introduce an approach to achieve on-demand emission of single photons with almost perfect indistinguishability and photon pairs with near ideal entanglement. Our scheme is based on optical excitation off resonant to a cavity mode followed by ultrafast control of the electronic states using the time-dependent quantum-confined Stark effect, which then allows for cavity-resonant emission. Our theoretical analysis considers cavity-loss mechanisms, the Stark effect, and phonon-induced dephasing, allowing realistic predictions for finite temperatures.

Cavity-assisted generation of entangled photon pairs by a quantum-dot cascade decay

Filippo Troiani, J. I. Perea, C. Tejedor

We compute the concurrence of the polarization-entangled photon pairs generated by the biexciton cascade decay of a semiconductor quantum dot. We show how a cavity-induced increase of the photon emission rate reduces the effect of dot dephasing and excitonic fine structure on the concurrence. However, strong dot-cavity couplings, as well as low detection efficiencies, increase the detrimental effect of multiple cascades. This affects the merits of the entangled photon-pair source, beyond what is estimated by quantum tomography.
