Abstract :
Physical considerations for the restoration of photon indistinguishability and entanglement in the emission of a quantum dot, the constraints on cavity design, and the technological issues associated with fabrication are discussed. Devices fabricated as solutions to these problems, and in particular microcavities capable of restoring photon indistinguishability are presented. Work towards cavities capable of restoring entanglement in the biexciton-exciton photon cascade is also discussed.
