We study the role of electron-phonon scattering for a pulse-triggered quantum dot single-photon source which utilizes a modified version of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage and cavity-coupling. This on-demand source is coherently pumped with an optical pulse in the presence of a continuous wave laser drive, allowing for efficient generation of indistinguishable single photons with polarizations orthogonal to the applied fields. In contrast to previous studies, we explore the role of electron-phonon scattering on this semiconductor system by using a polaron master equation approach to model the biexciton-exciton cascade and cavity mode coupling. In addition to background zero-phonon-line decoherence processes, electron-acoustic-phonon coupling, which usually degrades the indistinguishability and efficiency of semiconductor photon sources, is rigorously taken into account. We study how cavity and laser detunings affect the device performance, and explore the effects of finite temperature on pure dephasing and intrinsic phonon-coupling. We describe how this biexciton-exciton cascade scheme allows for true single photons to be generated with over 90% quantum indistinguishability and efficiency simultaneously using realistic experimental parameters. We also show how the double-field dressing can be probed through the cavity-emitted spectrum.

We show that squeezing in the output for two two photon laser is not visible using coherent as well as incoherent pump. We discuss effect of phonon coupling using recently developed polaron transformed master equation at low temperatures. We also propose scheme for generating squeezed state of field using four wave mixing.
Quantum adiabatic passages can be greatly accelerated by a suitable control field, called a counter-diabatic field, which varies during the scan through resonance. Here, we implement this technique on the electron spin of a single nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond. We demonstrate t
We present a medium-dependent quantum optics approach to describe the influence of electron-acoustic phonon coupling on the emission spectra of a strongly coupled quantum-dot cavity system. Using a canonical Hamiltonian for light quantization and a p
hoton Green function formalism, phonons are included to all orders through the dot polarizability function obtained within the independent Boson model. We derive simple user-friendly analytical expressions for the linear quantum light spectrum, including the influence from both exciton and cavity-emission decay channels. In the regime of semiconductor cavity-QED, we study cavity emission for various exciton-cavity detunings and demonstrate rich spectral asymmetries as well as cavity-mode suppression and enhancement effects. Our technique is nonperturbative, and non-Markovian, and can be applied to study photon emission from a wide range of semiconductor quantum dot structures, including waveguides and coupled cavity arrays. We compare our theory directly to recent and apparently puzzling experimental data for a single site-controlled quantum dot in a photonic crystal cavity and show good agreement as a function of cavity-dot detuning and as a function of temperature.
A quantum dot coupled to an optical cavity has recently proven to be an excellent source of on-demand single photons. Typically, applications require simultaneous high efficiency of the source and quantum indistinguishability of the extracted photons
. While much progress has been made both in suppressing background sources of decoherence and utilizing cavity-quantum electrodynamics to overcome fundamental limitations set by the intrinsic exciton-phonon scattering inherent in the solid-state platform, the role of the excitation pulse has been often neglected. We investigate quantitatively the factors associated with pulsed excitation that can limit simultaneous efficiency and indistinguishability, including excitation of multiple excitons, multi-photons, and pump-induced dephasing, and find for realistic single photon sources that these effects cause degradation of the source figures-of-merit comparable to that of phonon scattering. We also develop rigorous open quantum system polaron master equation models of quantum dot dynamics under a time-dependent drive which incorporate non-Markovian effects of both photon and phonon reservoirs, and explicitly show how coupling to a high Q-factor cavity suppresses multi-photon emission in a way not predicted by commonly employed models. We then use our findings to summarize the criteria that can be used for single photon source optimization.
Entangled photon generation from semiconductor quantum dots via the biexciton-exciton cascade underlies various decoherence mechanisms related to the solid-state nature of the quantum emitters. So far, this has prevented the demonstration of nearly-m
aximally entangled photons without the aid of inefficient and complex post-selection techniques that are hardly suitable for quantum communication technologies. Here, we tackle this challenge using strain-tunable GaAs quantum dots driven under two-photon resonant excitation and with strictly-degenerate exciton states. We demonstrate experimentally that our on-demand source generates polarization-entangled photons with fidelity of 0.978(5) and concurrence of 0.97(1) without resorting to post-selection techniques. Moreover, we show that the remaining decoherence mechanisms can be overcome using a modest Purcell enhancement so as to achieve a degree of entanglement >0.99. Our results highlight that GaAs quantum dots can be readily used in advanced communication protocols relying on the non-local properties of quantum entanglement.
