Abstract :
Entangled pairs of photons are an essential element in many aspects of the emerging field of quantum information processing. In this paper, the authors show for the first time a way to create the necessary electronic-state degeneracy and entanglement. With this approach, QDs could serve as a chip-based deterministic source of polarization entangled photons that delivers pairs on-demand.
