A journey from solid-state physics to quantum technologies
Optics of semiconductor nanostructures
The optics of semiconductor nanostructures group is concerned with a wide spectrum of research topics going from fundemantel aspects of light-matter interactions to optoelectronic devices, and from electronics structure engineering to material characterization.
In this publication, we address the influence of photon-number coherence on quantum interference experiments, highlighting its effects on Hong–Ou–Mandel measurements, indistinguishability estimations, and additional entanglement during partial measurements and examines its implications for quantum protocols, including modifications to heralding efficiency and the fidelity of two-qubit gates.
By entangling a single spin with successively emitted photons, we demonstrate full spin control using fast optical pulses. This enables on-demand reconfiguration of quantum states, paving the way for generating “caterpillar” graph states—the most versatile type achievable with a single emitter.
