Different types of photon entanglement from a constantly driven quantum emitter inside a cavity
Abstract
Bell states are the most prominent maximally entangled photon states. In a typical four-level emitter, like a semiconductor quantum dot, the photon states exhibit only one type of Bell state entanglement. By adding an external driving to the emitter system, also other types of Bell state entanglement are reachable without changing the polarization basis. In this paper, we show under which conditions the different types of entanglement occur and give analytical equations to explain these findings. We further identify special points, where the concurrence, being a measure for the degree of entanglement, drops to zero, while the coherences between the two-photon states stay strong. Results of this work pave the way to achieve a controlled manipulation of the entanglement type in practical devices.
