Maximally entangled and GHz-clocked on-demand photon pair source
Abstract
We present a 1 GHz-clocked, maximally entangled and on-demand photon pair source based on droplet etched GaAs quantum dots using two-photon excitation. By employing these GaP microlensenhanced devices in conjunction with their substantial brightness, raw entanglement fidelities of up to 0.95 0.01 and post-selected photon indistinguishabilities of up to 0.93 0.01, the suitability for quantum repeater based long range quantum entanglement distribution schemes is shown. Comprehensive investigations of a complete set of polarization selective two-photon correlations as well as time resolved Hong-Ou-Mandel interferences facilitate innovative methods that determine quantities such as photon extraction and excitation efficiencies as well as pure dephasing directly - opposed to commonly employed indirect techniques.
