摘要:

基于半导体量子点的单光子源由于具有高单光子不可区分性、按需产生和低多光子发射的特点,在量子信息处理中有多种应用。在此背景下,纠缠光子的产生是一项具有挑战性的任务,可能的解决方案依赖于同一光源在不同脉冲发射的相同光子在概率门中的干涉。在这项工作中,我们通过一个简单紧凑的设计实现了这种方法,该设计在偏振自由度上产生纠缠光子对。我们使用通过两种不同泵浦方案产生的单光子来运行所提出的平台,这两种方案分别是共振激发方案和纵声子辅助方案。然后,我们通过开发一个完整的模型来表征产生的纠缠双光子态,该模型考虑了相关的实验参数,如二阶相关函数和 Hong-Ou-Mandel 可见度。我们的光源表现出长期稳定性和高质量的纠缠态,从而构成了光量子技术的可靠构建块。

英文摘要:

Single-photon sources based on semiconductor quantum dots find several applications in quantum information processing due to their high single-photon indistinguishability, on-demand generation, and low multiphoton emission. In this context, the generation of entangled photons represents a challenging task with a possible solution relying on the interference in probabilistic gates of identical photons emitted at different pulses from the same source. In this work, we implement this approach via a simple and compact design that generates entangled photon pairs in the polarization degree of freedom. We operate the proposed platform with single photons produced through two different pumping schemes, the resonant excited one and the longitudinal-acoustic phonon-assisted configuration. We then characterize the produced entangled two-photon states by developing a complete model taking into account relevant experimental parameters, such as the second-order correlation function and the Hong-Ou-Mandel visibility. Our source shows long-term stability and high quality of the generated entangled states, thus constituting a reliable building block for optical quantum technologies.
