Abstract

A method is proposed for generating and discriminating Bell states of high fidelity from consecutive single-photons generated in a semiconductor quantum dot. The use of a non-symmetric beam splitter is found to be essential and sufficient, and no nonlinear optical process such as SPDC is required at any stage. This should be of considerable importance for testing the foundations of quantum mechanics.
