Source of Indistinguishable Single Photons Based on Epitaxial InAs/GaAs Quantum Dots for Integration in Quantum Computing Schemes
2021
The characteristics of single photons emitted by columnar microstructures based on epitaxial microcavity heterostructures with distributed Bragg reflectors, which include self-organized InAs/GaAs quantum dots and have a comparatively low Q factor in the range of 2000–3000, have been studied. It has been shown that a state with a given spin configuration—exciton with a certain polarization or trion—can be initialized in a single quantum dot under the coherent resonant linearly polarized optical pumping by a π pulse. The measurement of two-photon interference by the Hong–Ou–Mandel scheme has demonstrated that the degree of indistinguishability of successively emitted single photons is 97 and 93% at a time delay of 2 and 250 ns, respectively. Prospects of application of such sources in optical quantum computing schemes have been discussed.
