Abstract

Quantum emitters serve as the building blocks of quantum network, connecting quantum computing, quantum communication, and quantum metrology. Quantum dots (QDs) are widely considered as the best candidate for quantum emitters. This chapter reviews the scientific and technological development of quantum emitters based on QDs in recent years.

By a decade of effort, the controllability, purity, brightness, indistinguishability, and coherence of QD emitters are greatly improved so that they are much closer to the application level. The energy level of QD and its fine structure splitting can be routinely tuned simultaneously by post-growth technique, the single-photon purity has come up to 10−3, and the brightness has been greatly improved. Excellent indistinguishability and coherence can even be realized in the frame of electrically driven bulky semiconductors. Photon entanglement becomes an easy job by precisely tuning the energy levels and the symmetry of QDs. The second big progress is the success of coupling QD emitters to photonic nanostructures. These couplings greatly enhance the excitation/emission rates and the control of radiative direction. The entanglement of independent emitters might be possible by controlling the nanostructures coupled to QD emitters. Nanoscale selective excitation is realized by surface plasmonic interference. QDs coupled to waveguides produce strongly correlated photon states. Thirdly, remarkable development has been made towards on-chip integration of QD emitters into planar circuits and nanophotonic systems. Successful integration with multimode interference beam splitters has shown good single-photon purity of QD emitters. Integration into nanophotonic structures makes the engineering-related scattering much less important in the characters of QD emitters. Site-controlled integration with semiconductor nano-waveguides significantly improves the collection efficiency of QD emitters. In short, QDs are further proved the best on-demand, entangled, on-chip integrated quantum emitters for quantum information processing.
