Photonic nanostructures provide a means of tailoring the interaction between light and
matter and the past decade has witnessed tremendous experimental and theoretical …

The preparation of excitonic states in semiconductor quantum dots is a prerequisite for the
application of quantum dots in quantum information technology, eg, as source of single or …

We show that distributed Bragg reflector GaAs/AlAs vertical cavities designed to confine
photons are automatically optimal to confine phonons of the same wavelength, strongly …

We present an efficient quantum repeater protocol that uses coupled systems of quantum-
dot spins and optical microcavities, in which the spatial entanglement of a photon system …

The scalability of a quantum network based on semiconductor quantum dots lies in the
possibility of having an electrical control of the quantum dot state as well as controlling its …

We propose a scheme for the production of hyperentangled photon pairs as well as for the
complete differentiation of 16 hyperentangled Bell states in both polarization and spatial …

Bell-state analysis (BSA) is essential in quantum communication, but it is impossible to
distinguish unambiguously the four Bell states in the polarization degree of freedom (DOF) …

It is well known that a parallel quantum computer is more powerful than a classical one. So
far, there are some important works about the construction of universal quantum logic gates …

We present schemes for efficient state teleportation and entanglement swap** using a
single quantum-dot spin in an optical microcavity based on giant circular birefringence. State …

Entangling a single spin to the polarization of a single incoming photon, generated by an
external source, would open new paradigms in quantum optics such as delayed-photon …
