Time-bin entangled photons from a quantum dot
arXiv:1305.2081 · doi:10.1038/ncomms5251
Abstract
Long distance quantum communication is one of the prime goals in the field of quantum information science. With information encoded in the quantum state of photons, existing telecommunication fiber networks can be effectively used as a transport medium. To achieve this goal, a source of robust entangled single photon pairs is required. While time-bin entanglement offers the required robustness, currently used parametric down-conversion sources have limited performance due to multi-pair contributions. We report the realization of a source of single time-bin entangled photon pairs utilizing the biexciton-exciton cascade in a III/V self-assembled quantum dot. We analyzed the generated photon pairs by an inherently phase-stable interferometry technique, facilitating uninterrupted long integration times. We confirmed the entanglement by performing a quantum state tomography of the emitted photons, which yielded a fidelity of 0.69(3) and a concurrence of 0.41(6).
