Photonic quantum technology provides a viable route to quantum communication, quantum simulation, and quantum information processing. Scaling the complexity requires photonic architectures containing a large number of single photons, multiple photon-sources and photon-counters. Semiconductor quantum dots are bright and fast sources of coherent single-photons. For applications, a significant roadblock is the poor quantum coherence upon interfering single photons created by independent quantum dots.

Here, we present two-photon interference with near-unity visibility using photons from remote quantum dots. We show a Hong-Ou-Mandel visibility of 93% between photons from quantum dots separated in two cryostats. Exploiting the quantum interference, we demonstrate a photonic controlled-not circuit and a high-fidelity entanglement between photons of different origins. These results provide a long-awaited solution to the challenge of creating coherent single photons in a scalable way.
