Photon phase shift at the few-photon level and optical switching by a quantum dot in a microcavity

L. M. Wells, S. Kalliakos, B. Villa +6

We exploit the nonlinearity arising from the spin-photon interaction in an InAs quantum dot to demonstrate phase shifts of scattered light pulses at the single-photon level. Photon…

Towards a source of multi-photon entangled states for linear optical quantum computing

J. P. Lee, B. Villa, A. J. Bennett +5

We propose a scheme to make use of recent advances in cavity QED-enhanced resonance fluorescence from quantum dots to generate a stream of entangled and indistinguishable photons.…

Controllable photonic time-bin qubits from a quantum dot

J. P. Lee, L. M. Wells, B. Villa +7

Photonic time bin qubits are well suited to transmission via optical fibres and waveguide circuits. The states take the form , with $…

Surface Acoustic wave modulation of a coherently driven quantum dot in a pillar microcavity

B. Villa, A. J. Bennett, D. J. P. Ellis +8

We report the efficient coherent photon scattering from a semiconductor quantum dot embedded in a pillar microcavity. We show that a surface acoustic wave can periodically modulate…

Amorphous silicon-doped titania films for on-chip photonics

Thomas Kornher, Kangwei Xia, Roman Kolesov +8

High quality optical thin film materials form a basis for on-chip photonic micro- and nano-devices, where several photonic elements form an optical circuit. Their realization gener…
