GaAs quantum dots as tunable sources of entangled and indistinguishable photons — •Armando Rastelli — Institut für Halbleiter und Festkörperphysik, Johannes Kepler Universität Linz, Österreich

Among different solid-state emitters of quantum light, epitaxial GaAs quantum dots (QDs) have recently emerged as nearly-ideal sources of triggered polarization entangled photon pairs [1]. This property, combined with the strongly suppressed probability of multiphoton emission [2] has allowed the implementation of quantum teleportation using photons subsequently emitted by a single QD [3].

In this talk I will discuss the peculiar properties of GaAs QDs, their performance as emitters of both single and entangled photons, as well as possible methods to engineer their light emission characteristics [1,4] to meet the demanding requirements imposed by photonic quantum technologies.
