Photonic Quantum-Information Processing with Quantum Dots in Photonic Crystals

Quantum dots in photonic crystals have proven to be a very suitable platform for quantum-information processing. We review current progress on the ability to deterministically interface single photons and single quantum dots in photonic crystal waveguides and the chiral spin-photon interfaces

Highly-Efficient Quantum Dot Single-Photon Sources and Giant-Photon Nonlinearities for Quantum-Information Processing

We experimentally demonstrate the channeling of single photons from a quantum dot to a photonic-crystal waveguide mode with an efficiency of 98.4 %. This constitutes a deterministic single-photon source and may enable giant photon nonlinearities.

Quantum Dots in Photonic Crystal Waveguides: From Efficient Single Photon Sources to Deterministic Photon-Photon Interaction

Immo Söllner

This Thesis is focused on the study of quantum electrodynamics in photonic crystal waveguides. We investigate the interplay between a single quantum dot and the fundamental mode of the photonic crystal waveguide. We demonstrate experimental coupling eciencies for the spontaneous emission into the mode exceeding 98% for emitters spectrally close to the band-edge of the waveguide mode. In addition we illustrate the broadband nature of the underlying eects, by obtaining coupling eciencies above 90% for quantum dots detuned from the band edge by as far as 20nm. These values are in good agreement with numerical simulations. Such a high coupling eciency implies that the system can be considered an articial 1D-atom, and we theoretically show that this system can generate strong photon-photon interaction, which is an essential functionality for deterministic optical quantum information processing. We present the progress towards the experimental demonstration of such a strong photon-photon nonlinearity. We present the rst signatures of resonant transmission in photonic crystal waveguides and discuss some of the encountered diculties and future directions of the experiments. In the nal part of this Thesis we discuss a novel type of photonic crystal waveguide and show its applications for on-chip quantum information processing. This structure was designed for the ecient mapping of two orthogonal circular dipole transitions to dierent propagation paths of the emitted photon, i.e. exhibits chiral quantum-dot-waveguide coupling. Such a structure is ideally suited for a number of applications in quantum information processing and among others we propose an on-chip spin-photon interface, a single photon transistor, and a deterministic cNOT gate.
