We provide a self-contained review of master equation approaches to modelling phonon
effects in optically driven self-assembled quantum dots. Coupling of the (quasi) two-level …

Quantum entanglement between distant qubits is an important feature of quantum networks.
Distribution of entanglement over long distances can be enabled through coherently …

Resonance fluorescence arises from the interaction of an optical field with a two-level
system, and has played a fundamental role in the development of quantum optics and its …

The ability to identify and characterize homogeneous and inhomogeneous dephasing
processes is crucial in solid-state quantum optics. In particular, spectral diffusion leading to …

An emission wavelength around 1550 nm (telecom C-band) is highly appealing for
nonclassical light sources, among others, due to the absorption minimum in standard glass …

Coupling a microscopic mechanical resonator to a nanoscale quantum system enables
control of the mechanical resonator via the quantum system and vice-versa. The coupling is …

In recent years, semiconductor quantum dots have demonstrated their potential to reach the
goal of being an ideal source of single and entangled photon pairs. Exciting reports of near …

Making use of droplet epitaxy, we systematically controlled the height of self-assembled
GaAs quantum dots by more than one order of magnitude. The photoluminescence spectra …

Fluctuations in stochastic systems are usually characterized by full counting statistics, which
analyzes the distribution of the number of events taking place in the fixed time interval. In an …

We report on the feedback stabilization of the zero-phonon emission frequency of a single
InAs quantum dot. The spectral separation of the phonon-assisted component of the …
