Post-selective Entanglement Generation with solid state single photon sources — •Alexander Pawlis1,2, Klaus Lischka1, and Yoshihisa Yamamoto2 — 1Universität Paderborn, Paderborn, Deutschland — 2Stanford University, Palo Alto, California
The ability to isolate single fluorine donors in nano-structures fabricated from fluorine doped ZnMgSe/ZnSe QWs allows for direct access to the atom-like transitions of the donors. Such nano-structures are particularly applicable as solid-state single photon sources (SPS) and electron spin qubits. The quantum interference of single photons emitted from two independent ZnSe:F SPS revealed sufficient indistinguishability [1] for the realisation of all-optical concepts [2] of quantum-computation and -communication in a solid-state material. Furthermore the electron spin of the neutral donor can be used as a long-lived matter qubit [3]. Here we report on the post-selection of polarization entangled photon pairs emitted from two independent ZnSe:F SPS. The density matrix of the state was reconstructed by quantum state tomography and it yields a fidelity of 0.58 [4]. The results constitutes the first realization of two indistinguishable ZnSe:F SPS that can be used to generate substantial entanglement over macroscopic distances.
