Engineering of selective carrier injection in patterned arrays of single-quantum-dot entangled photon light-emitting diodes
arXiv:1707.06190 · doi:10.1038/nphoton.2016.203
Abstract
Scalability and foundry compatibility (as for example in conventional silicon based integrated computer processors) in developing quantum technologies are exceptional challenges facing current research. Here we introduce a quantum photonic technology potentially enabling large scale fabrication of semiconductor-based, site-controlled, scalable arrays of electrically driven sources of polarization-entangled photons, with the potential to encode quantum information. The design of the sources is based on quantum dots grown in micron-sized pyramidal recesses along the crystallographic direction (111)B theoretically ensuring high symmetry of the quantum dots - the condition for actual bright entangled photon emission. A selective electric injection scheme in these non-planar structures allows obtaining a high density of light-emitting diodes, with some producing entangled photon pairs also violating Bell's inequality. Compatibility with semiconductor fabrication technology, good reproducibility and control of the position make these devices attractive candidates for integrated photonic circuits for quantum information processing.
