Single photon interference between two modes originated from a single quantum dot

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2009-09-03 v2 Materials Science

Abstract

Interference of a single photon generated from a single quantum dot is observed between two photon polarization modes. Each emitted single photon has two orthogonal polarization modes associated with the solid-state single photon source, in which two non-degenerate neutral exciton states are involved. The interference between the two modes takes place only under the condition that the emitted photon is free from which-mode information.
