Advanced applications of quantum information processing require sources of single, indistinguishable photons as well as polarization entangled photon pairs as key building blocks. Semiconductor quantum dots (QPs) are excellent single-photon emitters and accomplish these requirements. The spectral properties, e.g. emission energy, fine structure splitting and binding energy, of QPs determined by the self-assembled growth and and can be manipulated by applying external mechanical strain. We demonstrate a tunable single-photon source based on an InGaAs QD inside a thin GaAs membrane that is bounded to a piezoactuator via the flip-chip goldbonding technique. Optical and quantum optical studies of the system will be presented which include the stabilization of the QD emission energy, tuning of the fine structure splitting and quantum tomographic measurements to demonstrate the emission polarization entangled photon pairs.
