Here, we experimentally implement a sequential two-photon resonant excitation process driving a solid-state 3-level system, represented by a semiconductor quantum dot [1]. The resulting light state exhibits entanglement in time and energy, encoded in the photon-number basis. Performing energy- and time-resolved correlation experiments together with detailed theoretical modeling, we are able to partially retrieve the entanglement structure of the generated state and extract an upper bound for the fidelity to the entangled target state of F ≤ 70% before loss.
