Entangled photons from a strongly coupled quantum dot-cavity system
Entangled photons from a strongly coupled quantum dot-cavity system
A quantum dot strongly coupled to a photonic crystal has been recently proposed as a source of entangled photon pairs [R. Johne et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 240404 (2008)]. The biexction decay via intermediate polariton states can be used to overcome the natural splitting between the exciton states coupled …
