Quantum dots in cavities have been shown to be very bright sources of indistinguishable single photons. Yet the quantum interference between two bright quantum dot sources, a critical step for photon based quantum computation, has never been investigated. Here we report on such a measurement, taking advantage of a deterministic fabrication of the devices. We show that cavity quantum electrodynamics can efficiently improve the quantum interference between remote quantum dot sources: poorly indistinguishable photons can still interfere with good contrast with high quality photons emitted by a source in the strong Purcell regime. Our measurements and calculations show that cavity quantum electrodynamics is a powerful tool for interconnecting several devices.

Photonic quantum technologies are on the verge of finding applications in everyday life with quantum cryptography and the quantum internet on the horizon. Extensive research has been carried out to determine suitable quantum emitters and single epitaxial quantum dots are emerging as near-optimal sources of bright, on-demand, highly indistinguishable single photons and entangled photon pairs. In order to build up quantum networks, it is now essential to interface remote quantum emitters. However, this is still an outstanding challenge, as the quantum states of dissimilar artificial atoms have to be prepared on-demand with high fidelity, and the generated photons have to be made indistinguishable in all possible degrees of freedom. Here, we overcome this major obstacle and show an unprecedented two-photon interference (visibility of 51+/-5%) from remote strain-tunable GaAs quantum dots, emitting on-demand photon-pairs. We achieve this result by exploiting for the first time the full potential of the novel phonon-assisted two-photon excitation scheme, which allows for the generation of highly indistinguishable (visibility of 71+/-9%) entangled photon-pairs (fidelity of 90+/-2%), it enables push-to button biexciton state preparation (fidelity of 80+/-2%) and it outperforms conventional resonant two-photon excitation schemes in terms of robustness against environmental decoherence. Our results mark an important milestone for the practical realization of quantum repeaters and complex multi-photon entanglement experiments involving dissimilar artificial atoms.
We investigate the prospects of using two-mode intensity squeezed twin-beams, generated in Rb vapor, to improve the sensitivity of spectroscopic measurements by engaging two-photon Raman transitions. As a proof of principle demonstration, we demonstrated the quantum-enhanced measurements of the Rb $5D_{3/2}$ hyperfine structure with reduced requirements for the Raman pump laser power and Rb vapor number density.
We theoretically describe the quantum Zeno effect in a spin-photon interface represented by a charged quantum dot in a micropillar cavity. The electron spin in this system entangles with the polarization of the transmitted photons, and their continuous detection leads to the slowing of the electron spin precession in external magnetic field and induces the spin relaxation. We obtain a microscopic expression for the spin measurement rate and calculate the second and fourth order correlation functions of the spin noise, which evidence the change of the spin statistics due to the quantum Zeno effect. We demonstrate, that the quantum limit for the spin measurement can be reached for any probe frequency using the homodyne nondemolition spin measurement, which maximizes the rate of the quantum information gain.
We demonstrate reversible strain-tuning of a quantum dot strongly coupled to a photonic crystal cavity. We observe an average redshift of 0.45 nm for quantum dots located inside the cavity membrane, achieved with an electric field of 15 kV/cm applied to a piezo-electric actuator. Using this technique, we demonstrate the ability to tune a quantum dot into resonance with a photonic crystal cavity in the strong coupling regime, resulting in a clear anti-crossing. The bare cavity resonance is less sensitive to strain than the quantum dot and shifts by only 0.078 nm at the maximum applied electric field.
Interference of a single photon generated from a single quantum dot is observed between two photon polarization modes. Each emitted single photon has two orthogonal polarization modes associated with the solid-state single photon source, in which two non-degenerate neutral exciton states are involved. The interference between the two modes takes place only under the condition that the emitted photon is free from which-mode information.
