Telecom-Wavelength Quantum Relay Using a Semiconductor Quantum Dot

Jan Huwer, M. Felle, R. M. Stevenson +6 more

One promising technology expected to enable long-haul quantum communication networks with untrusted nodes are quantum relays. Their most practical implementation requires an entanglement source with operation at telecom wavelength and intrinsic single photon character. Here, we use a semiconductor quantum dot emitting in the O-band to demonstrate for the first time a system fulfilling both of these criteria. For implementation of a standard 4-state QKD-protocol with weak coherent input states, the system achieves mean fidelities above 88%. Further characterization of the relay with process tomography reveals teleportation for arbitrary input states. The results represent a significant advance in demonstrating feasibility of semiconductor light sources for the development of infrastructure-compatible quantum-communication technology for multi-node networks.

Limits for quantum networks with semiconductor entangled photon sources

Jingzhong Yang, Michael Zopf, Pengji Li +9 more

Semiconductor quantum dots are promising constituents for future quantum communication. Although deterministic, fast, efficient, coherent, and pure emission of entangled photons has been realized, implementing a practical quantum network remains outstanding. Here we explore the limits for sources of polarization-entangled photons from the commonly used biexciton-exciton cascade. We stress the necessity of tuning the exciton fine structure, and explain why the often observed time evolution of photonic entanglement in quantum dots is not applicable for large quantum networks. The consequences of device fabrication, dynamic tuning techniques and statistical effects for practical network applications are investigated. We identify the critical device parameters and present a numerical model for benchmarking the device scalability in order to bring the realization of distributed semiconductor-based quantum networks one step closer to reality.

Spin-photon module for scalable network architecture in quantum dots

Xingyu Zhu, Tao Tu, Ao-Lin Guo +3 more

Reliable information transmission between spatially separated nodes is fundamental to a network architecture for scalable quantum technology. Spin qubit in semiconductor quantum dots is a promising candidate for quantum information processing. However, there remains a challenge to design a practical path from the existing experiments to scalable quantum processor. Here we propose a module consisting of spin singlet-triplet qubits and single microwave photons. We show a high degree of control over interactions between the spin qubit and the quantum light field can be achieved. Furthermore, we propose preparation of a shaped single photons with an efficiency of 98%, and deterministic quantum state transfer and entanglement generation between remote nodes with a high fidelity of 90%. This spin-photon module has met the threshold of particular designed error-correction protocols, thus provides a feasible approach towards scalable quantum network architecture.
