We present a fully microscopic approach to the transition rate of two exciton-photon polaritons. The non-trivial consequences of the polariton composite nature -- here treated exactly through a development of our composite-exciton many-body…
Strong light-matter coupling in optical waveguides provides a versatile platform for engineering hybrid polaritonic modes and their dispersion. Here we investigate multimode exciton-photon coupling in visible semiconductor waveguides…
Scalable photonic quantum technologies require on-demand single-photon sources with simultaneously high levels of purity, indistinguishability, and efficiency. These key features, however, have only been demonstrated separately in previous…
We describe a mechanism by which an electrical bias voltage applied across a unipolar semiconductor quantum well can drive an exciton or polariton supercurrent. The mechanism depends on the properties of electronic quasiparticles in quantum…
We develop a general nonperturbative formalism and propose a specific scheme for maximally efficient generation of biphoton states by parametric decay of single photons. We show that the well-known critical coupling concept of integrated…
Generation and manipulation of the quantum state of a single photon is at the heart of many quantum information protocols. There has been growing interest in using phase modulators as quantum optics devices that preserve coherence. In this…
Quantum gates are crucial for processing quantum information, but implementing them in a photonic platform poses unique challenges due to the peculiar way photons propagate and interfere. Here, we examine quantum photonic gates that utilize…
We demonstrate a high-purity source of indistinguishable single photons using a quantum dot embedded in a nanophotonic waveguide. The source features a near-unity internal coupling efficiency and the collected photons are efficiently…
We show theoretically that nearly indistinguishable photons can be generated with non-identical semiconductor-based sources. The use of virtual Raman transitions and the optimization of the external driving fields increases the tolerance to…
Quantum light sources play a vital role in various aspects of quantum information science, but on-demand high-efficient generation of arbitrary multiphoton states which can be easily integrated is still challenging. Here, we propose a…

Single photons provide excellent quantum information carriers, but current schemes for preparing, processing and measuring them are inefficient. For example, down-conversion provides heralded, but randomly timed single photons, while…
In this theoretical work, we study a double quantum dot interacting strongly with a microcavity, while undergoing resonant tunneling. Effects of interdot tunneling on the light-matter hybridized states are determined, and tunability of…

Experimental evidence of strong coupling between excitons confined in a quantum well and the photonic modes of a two-dimensional dielectric lattice is reported. Both resonant scattering and photoluminescence spectra at low temperature show…
We introduce unitary quantum gates for photon pair creation in spontaneous parametric down-conversion nonlinear crystals (NLs) and for photon path alignment. These are the two key ingredients for the method of "induced coherence without…
Information processing has reached the era of big data. Big data challenges are difficult to address with traditional Von Neumann or Turing approach. Hence implementation of new computational techniques is highly essential. Nanophotonics…
We report on the triggered generation of indistinguishable photons by solid-state single-photon sources in two separate cryogenic laser scanning microscopes. Organic fluorescent molecules were used as emitters and investigated by means of…
Multiple exciton generation is a process in which more than one electron hole pair is generated per absorbed photon. It allows us to increase the efficiency of solar energy harvesting. Experimental studies have shown the multiple exciton…
