Semiconductor quantum light sources: Progresses and applications

Semiconductor quantum dots have emerged as an excellent platform for quantum light generation, providing quantum pure single photon wavepackets with unparalleled efficiency. These devices have started to accelerate the development of optical quantum technologies – notably in the field of optical quantum computing. In this talk, I will discuss our progresses toward the deterministic source, the use of these sources for the generation of linear cluster states and the generation of quantum light state using spontaneous emission as a resource for entanglement in the photon number basis.
