Quantum light sources: entanglement generation in semiconductor nanostructures — •Ana Predojevic — Stockholm University, Stockholm, Sweden

Single quantum dots are established emitters of single photons and entangled photon pairs. By means of resonant excitation they generate photon pairs with high efficiency, low multi-photon contribution, and suitable for entangling schemes such as time-bin entanglement. The entanglement of photons generated by quantum dots can be employed in free-space and fibre-based quantum communication. In addition to this, some applications of entanglement are more versatile if the photons are entangled simultaneously in more than one degree of freedom - hyperentangled, which we also demonstrated using quantum dots. However, the achievable degree of entanglement and the source readiness to be deployed in quantum communication protocols depend on additional functionalities, including high photon collection efficiency. I will present engineered photonic systems that allow for entangled photon pair sources to be more efficient. Also, I will introduce novel methods to characterize sources of entangled photons.
