Linear optics with photon counting is a prominent candidate for practical quantum
computing. The protocol by Knill, Laflamme, and Milburn [2001, Nature (London) 409, 46] …

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 …

A source of triggered entangled photon pairs is a key component in quantum information
science; it is needed to implement functions such as linear quantum computation …

Tomographic analysis demonstrates that the polarization state of pairs of photons emitted
from a biexciton decay cascade becomes entangled when spectral filtering is applied. The …

We propose a practical, scalable, and efficient scheme for quantum computation using
spatially separated matter qubits and single-photon interference effects. The qubit systems …

This book offers a concise review of quantum radar theory. Our approach is pedagogical,
making emphasis on the physics behind the operation of a hypothetical quantum radar. We …

We report a proof-of-principle demonstration of a probabilistic controlled-NOT gate for single
photons. Single-photon control and target qubits were mixed with a single ancilla photon in …

We report on Rabi oscillations of the biexciton in a single In x Ga 1− x As∕ Ga As quantum
dot, induced via a coherent two-photon process. In contrast to single-exciton Rabi …

Entanglement is one of the key features of quantum information and communications
technology. The method that has been used most frequently to generate highly entangled …

For a semiconductor quantum dot strongly coupled to a microcavity, we theoretically
investigate phonon-assisted transitions from the exciton to a cavity photon, where the energy …
