Numerical optimization of single-mode fiber-coupled single-photon sources based on semiconductor quantum dots
Lucas Bremer, Carlos Jimenez, Simon Thiele +8
We perform extended numerical studies to maximize the overall photon coupling efficiency of fiber-coupled quantum dot single-photon sources emitting in the near-infrared and teleco…
Tools for the Performance Optimization of Single-Photon Quantum Key Distribution
Timm Kupko, Martin v. Helversen, Lucas Rickert +6
Quantum light sources emitting triggered single photons or entangled photon pairs have the potential to boost the performance of quantum key distribution (QKD) systems. Proof-of-pr…
Photon-number parity of heralded single photons from a Bragg-reflection waveguide reconstructed loss-tolerantly via moment generating function
K. Laiho, M. Schmidt, H. Suchomel +6
Due to their strict photon-number correlation, the twin beams produced in parametric down-conversion (PDC) work well for heralded state generation. Often, however, this state manip…
Non-Markovian features in semiconductor quantum optics: Quantifying the role of phonons in experiment and theory
Alexander Carmele, Stephan Reitzenstein
We discuss phonon-induced non-Markovian and Markovian features in QD-based optics. We cover lineshapes in linear absorption experiments, phonon-induced incoherence in the Heitler r…
Slow and fast light behavior of single photons from a quantum dot interacting with the excited state hyperfine structure of the Cesium D1-line
Tim Kroh, Janik Wolters, Andreas Ahlrichs +9
Hybrid interfaces between distinct quantum systems play a major role in the implementation of quantum networks. Quantum states have to be stored in memories to synchronize the phot…
Accessing the dark exciton spin in deterministic quantum-dot microlenses
Tobias Heindel, Alexander Thoma, Ido Schwartz +11
The dark exciton state in semiconductor quantum dots constitutes a long-lived solid-state qubit which has the potential to play an important role in implementations of solid-state…
