    Exciton Fine Structure and Lattice Dynamics in InP/ZnSe Core/Shell Quantum Dots2018In: ACS Photonics, E-ISSN 2330-4022, Vol. 5, no 8, p. 3353-3362Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Nanocrystalline InP quantum dots (QDs) hold promise for heavy-metal-free optoelectronic applications due to their bright and size tunable emission in the visible range. Photochemical stability and high photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield are obtained by a diversity of epitaxial shells around the InP core. To understand and optimize the emission line shapes, the exciton fine structure of InP core/shell QD systems needs be investigated. Here, we study the exciton fine structure of InP/ZnSe core/shell QDs with core diameters ranging from 2.9 to 3.6 nm (PL peak from 2.3 to 1.95 eV at 4 K). PL decay measurements as a function of temperature in the 10 mK to 300 K range show that the lowest exciton fine structure state is a dark state, from which radiative recombination is assisted by coupling to confined acoustic phonons with energies ranging from 4 to 7 meV, depending on the core diameter. Circularly polarized fluorescence line-narrowing (FLN) spectroscopy at 4 K under high magnetic fields (up to 30 T) demonstrates that radiative recombination from the dark F = +/- 2 state involves acoustic and optical phonons, from both the InP core and the ZnSe shell. Our data indicate that the highest intensity FLN peak is an acoustic phonon replica rather than a zero-phonon line, implying that the energy separation observed between the F = +/- 1 state and the highest intensity peak in the FLN spectra (6 to 16 meV, depending on the InP core size) is larger than the splitting between the dark and bright fine structure exciton states.

    Bright nanoscale source of deterministic entangled photon pairs violating Bell's inequality2017In: Scientific Reports, E-ISSN 2045-2322, Vol. 7, no 1, article id 1700Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Global, secure quantum channels will require efficient distribution of entangled photons. Long distance, low-loss interconnects can only be realized using photons as quantum information carriers. However, a quantum light source combining both high qubit fidelity and on-demand bright emission has proven elusive. Here, we show a bright photonic nanostructure generating polarization-entangled photon pairs that strongly violates Bell's inequality. A highly symmetric InAsP quantum dot generating entangled photons is encapsulated in a tapered nanowire waveguide to ensure directional emission and efficient light extraction. We collect similar to 200 kHz entangled photon pairs at the first lens under 80 MHz pulsed excitation, which is a 20 times enhancement as compared to a bare quantum dot without a photonic nanostructure. The performed Bell test using the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality reveals a clear violation (S-CHSH > 2) by up to 9.3 standard deviations. By using a novel quasi-resonant excitation scheme at the wurtzite InP nanowire resonance to reduce multi-photon emission, the entanglement fidelity (F = 0.817 +/- 0.002) is further enhanced without temporal post-selection, allowing for the violation of Bell's inequality in the rectilinear-circular basis by 25 standard deviations. Our results on nanowire-based quantum light sources highlight their potential application in secure data communication utilizing measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution and quantum repeater protocols.

    Semiconductor devices for entangled photon pair generation: a review2017In: Reports on progress in physics (Print), ISSN 0034-4885, E-ISSN 1361-6633, Vol. 80, no 7, article id 076001Article, review/survey (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Entanglement is one of the most fascinating properties of quantum mechanical systems; when two particles are entangled the measurement of the properties of one of the two allows the properties of the other to be instantaneously known, whatever the distance separating them. In parallel with fundamental research on the foundations of quantum mechanics performed on complex experimental set-ups, we assist today with bourgeoning of quantum information technologies bound to exploit entanglement for a large variety of applications such as secure communications, metrology and computation. Among the different physical systems under investigation, those involving photonic components are likely to play a central role and in this context semiconductor materials exhibit a huge potential in terms of integration of several quantum components in miniature chips. In this article we review the recent progress in the development of semiconductor devices emitting entangled photons. We will present the physical processes allowing the generation of entanglement and the tools to characterize it; we will give an overview of major recent results of the last few years and highlight perspectives for future developments.

    Rydberg excitons in Cu2O microcrystals grown on a silicon platform2020In: Communications Materials, ISSN 2662-4443, Vol. 1, no 1, article id 11Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Cuprous oxide (Cu2O) is a semiconductor with large exciton binding energy and significant technological importance in applications such as photovoltaics and solar water splitting. It is also a superior material system for quantum optics that enabled the observation of intriguing phenomena, such as Rydberg excitons as solid-state analogue to highly-excited atomic states. Previous experiments related to excitonic properties focused on natural bulk crystals due to major difficulties in growing high-quality synthetic samples. Here, the growth of Cu2O microcrystals with excellent optical material quality and very low point defect levels is presented. A scalable thermal oxidation process is used that is ideally suited for integration on silicon, demonstrated by on-chip waveguide-coupled Cu2O microcrystals. Moreover, Rydberg excitons in site-controlled Cu2O microstructures are shown, relevant for applications in quantum photonics. This work paves the way for the wide-spread use of Cu2O in optoelectronics and for the development of novel device technologies. Cu2O is of great interest for its excitonic properties, yet challenges in its fabrication means that most experiments focus on naturally occurring samples. Here, scalable thermal oxidation is reported for the growth of Cu2O with low-defect content, allowing the observation of Rydberg excitons.

    Giant Rydberg excitons in Cu2O probed by photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy2021In: Physical Review B, ISSN 2469-9950, E-ISSN 2469-9969, Vol. 104, no 24, article id 245206Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Rydberg excitons are, with their ultrastrong mutual interactions, giant optical nonlinearities, and very high sensitivity to external fields, promising for applications in quantum sensing and nonlinear optics at the singlephoton level. To design quantum applications it is necessary to know how Rydberg excitons and other excited states relax to lower-lying exciton states. Here, we present photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy as a method to probe transition probabilities from various excitonic states in cuprous oxide. We show giant Rydberg excitons at T = 38 mK with principal quantum numbers up to n = 30, corresponding to a calculated diameter of 3 mu m.

    Entanglement distribution over a 96-km-long submarine optical fiber2019In: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, ISSN 0027-8424, E-ISSN 1091-6490, Vol. 116, no 14, p. 6684-6688Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Quantum entanglement is one of the most extraordinary effects in quantum physics, with many applications in the emerging field of quantum information science. In particular, it provides the foundation for quantum key distribution (QKD), which promises a conceptual leap in information security. Entanglement-based QKD holds great promise for future applications owing to the possibility of device-independent security and the potential of establishing global-scale quantum repeater networks. While other approaches to QKD have already reached the level of maturity required for operation in absence of typical laboratory infrastructure, comparable field demonstrations of entanglement-based QKD have not been performed so far. Here, we report on the successful distribution of polarization-entangled photon pairs between Malta and Sicily over 96 km of submarine optical telecommunications fiber. We observe around 257 photon pairs per second, with a polarization visibility above 90%. Our results show that QKD based on polarization entanglement is now indeed viable in long-distance fiber links. This field demonstration marks the longest-distance distribution of entanglement in a deployed telecommunications network and demonstrates an international submarine quantum communication channel. This opens up myriad possibilities for future experiments and technological applications using existing infrastructure.

    Passively stable distribution of polarisation entanglement over 192 km of deployed optical fibre2020In: NPJ QUANTUM INFORMATION, ISSN 2056-6387, Vol. 6, no 1, article id 5Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Quantum key distribution (QKD) based on entangled photon pairs holds the potential for repeater-based quantum networks connecting clients over long distance. We demonstrate long-distance entanglement distribution by means of polarisation-entangled photon pairs through two successive deployed 96 km-long telecommunications fibres in the same submarine cable. One photon of each pair was detected directly after the source, while the other travelled the fibre cable in both directions for a total distance of 192 km and attenuation of 48 dB. The observed two-photon Bell state exhibited a fidelity 85 +/- 2% and was stable over several hours. We employed neither active stabilisation of the quantum state nor chromatic dispersion compensation for the fibre.

    Proximitized Josephson junctions in highly-doped InAs nanowires robust to optical illumination2021In: Nanotechnology, ISSN 0957-4484, E-ISSN 1361-6528, Vol. 32, no 7, article id 075001Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We have studied the effects of optical-frequency light on proximitized InAs/Al Josephson junctions based on highly n-doped InAs nanowires at varying incident photon flux and at three different photon wavelengths. The experimentally obtained IV curves were modeled using a resistively shunted junction model which takes scattering at the contact interfaces into account. Despite the fact that the InAs weak link is photosensitive, the Josephson junctions were found to be surprisingly robust, interacting with the incident radiation only through heating, whereas above the critical current our devices showed non-thermal effects resulting from photon exposure. Our work indicates that Josephson junctions based on highly-doped InAs nanowires can be integrated in close proximity to photonic circuits. The results also suggest that such junctions can be used for optical-frequency photon detection through thermal processes by measuring a shift in critical current.
