Resonant excitation of atoms and ions in macroscopic cavities has lead to exceptional control over quanta of light. Translating these advantages into the solid state with emitters in microcavities promises revolutionary quantum technologies in information processing and metrology. Key is resonant optical reading and writing from the emitter-cavity system. However, it has been widely expected that the reflection of a resonant laser from a micro-fabricated wavelength-sized cavity would dominate any quantum signal. Here we demonstrate coherent photon scattering from a quantum dot in a micro-pillar. The cavity is shown to enhance the fraction of light which is resonantly scattered towards unity, generating anti-bunched indistinguishable photons a factor of 16 beyond the time-bandwidth limit, even when the transition is near saturation. Finally, deterministic excitation is used to create 2-photon N00N states with which we make super-resolving phase measurements in a photonic circuit.

We analyze the light scattered by a single InAs quantum dot interacting with a resonant continuous-wave laser. High resolution spectra reveal clear distinctions between coherent and incoherent scattering, with the laser intensity spanning over four o rders of magnitude. We find that the fraction of coherently scattered photons can approach unity under sufficiently weak or detuned excitation, ruling out pure dephasing as a relevant decoherence mechanism. We show how spectral diffusion shapes spectra, correlation functions, and phase-coherence, concealing the ideal radiatively-broadened two-level system described by Mollow.

We demonstrate a single-photon collection efficiency of $(44.3pm2.1)%$ from a quantum dot in a low-Q mode of a photonic-crystal cavity with a single-photon purity of $g^{(2)}(0)=(4pm5)%$ recorded above the saturation power. The high efficiency is dir ectly confirmed by detecting up to $962pm46$ kilocounts per second on a single-photon detector on another quantum dot coupled to the cavity mode. The high collection efficiency is found to be broadband, as is explained by detailed numerical simulations. Cavity-enhanced efficient excitation of quantum dots is obtained through phonon-mediated excitation and under these conditions, single-photon indistinguishability measurements reveal long coherence times reaching $0.77pm0.19$ ns in a weak-excitation regime. Our work demonstrates that photonic crystals provide a very promising platform for highly integrated generation of coherent single photons including the efficient out-coupling of the photons from the photonic chip.
Solid state quantum emitters have shown strong potential for applications in quantum information, but spectral inhomogeneity of these emitters poses a significant challenge. We address this issue in a cavity-quantum dot system by demonstrating cavity -stimulated Raman spin flip emission. This process avoids populating the excited state of the emitter and generates a photon that is Raman shifted from the laser and enhanced by the cavity. The emission is spectrally narrow and tunable over a range of at least 125 GHz, which is two orders of magnitude greater than the natural linewidth. We obtain the regime in which the Raman emission is spin-dependent, which couples the photon to a long-lived electron spin qubit. This process can enable an efficient, tunable source of indistinguishable photons and deterministic entanglement of distant spin qubits in a photonic crystal quantum network.

Photonic time bin qubits are well suited to transmission via optical fibres and waveguide circuits. The states take the form $frac{1}{sqrt{2}}(alpha ket{0} + e^{iphi}beta ket{1})$, with $ket{0}$ and $ket{1}$ referring to the early and late time bin r espectively. By controlling the phase of a laser driving a spin-flip Raman transition in a single-hole-charged InAs quantum dot we demonstrate complete control over the phase, $phi$. We show that this photon generation process can be performed deterministically, with only a moderate loss in coherence. Finally, we encode different qubits in different energies of the Raman scattered light, demonstrating wavelength division multiplexing at the single photon level.
We show that resonance fluorescence, i.e. the resonant emission of a coherently driven two-level system, can be realized with a semiconductor quantum dot. The dot is embedded in a planar optical micro-cavity and excited in a wave-guide mode so as to discriminate its emission from residual laser scattering. The transition from the weak to the strong excitation regime is characterized by the emergence of oscillations in the first-order correlation function of the fluorescence, g(t), as measured by interferometry. The measurements correspond to a Mollow triplet with a Rabi splitting of up to 13.3 micro eV. Second-order-correlation measurements further confirm non-classical light emission.
