The desiderata for an ideal photon source are high brightness, high single-photon purity, and high indistinguishability. Defining brightness at the first collection lens, these properties …
A general quantum system may be steered by a control of either classical or quantum nature and the latter scenario is particularly important in many quantum engineering problems …
In this thesis the results of experiments on the optical properties of single InGaAs quantum dots are presented. Using a range of ultrafast spectroscopy techniques the dynamics of …
