A solid-state spin coherent photo-detector for quantum communication

Rutger B. Vrijen, Eli Yablonovitch

We describe how quantum information may be transferred from photon polarization to electron spin in a semiconductor device. The transfer of quantum information relies on selection rules for optical transitions, such that two superposed photon polarizations excite two superposed spin states. Entanglement of the electron spin state with the spin state of the remaining hole is prevented by using a single, non-degenerate initial valence band. The degeneracy of the valence band is lifted by the combination of strain and a static magnetic field. We give a detailed description of a semiconductor structure that transfers photon polarization to electron spin coherently, and allows electron spins to be stored and to be made available for quantum information processing.

Theoretical Analysis of the Optimal Conditions for Photon-Spin Quantum State Transfer

Yoshiaki Rikitake, Hiroshi Imamura, Hideo Kosaka

We analyzed the yield and fidelity of the quantum state transfer (QST) from a photon polarization qubit to an electron spin qubit in a spin-coherent photo detector consisting of a semiconductor quantum dot. We used a model consisting of the quantum dot, where the QST is carried out, coupled with a photonic cavity. We determined the optimal conditions that allow the realization of both high-yield and high-fidelity QST.

Xue-dong Feng

Different categories of near-infrared-wavelength single-photo detectors are introduced, we analyze the performances of an appointed InGaAs/InP avalanche single-photo detector and a latest ultra-fast superconducting single-photo detector. We also summarize their applications in quantum communications.
