Deterministic positioning of circular Bragg gratings using atomic force lithography for high-performance quantum dot light sources

Sai Abhishikth Dhurjati, Moritz Langer, Yared G. Zena +6

Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) grown by molecular beam epitaxy are excellent quantum emitters, but their random spatial distribution hinders deterministic coupling to optical mic…

An ultra-compact deterministic source of maximally entangled photon pairs

M. Langer, P. Ruchka, A. Rahimi +9

We present an ultra-compact source of maximally entangled on-demand photon pairs. Our results are based on coupling of single GaAs quantum dots that are embedded in monolithic micr…
