• Abstract: In this work, we present a biexciton state population in (111)B oriented site-controlled InGaAs quantum dots (QDs) by resonant two photon excitation. We show that the excited state recombines emitting highly pure single photon pairs entangled in polarization. The discussed cases herein are compelling due to the specific energetic structure of Pyramidal InGaAs QDs - an antibinding biexciton - a state with a positive binding energy. We demonstrate that resonant two-photon excitation of QDs with antibinding biexcitons can lead to a complex excitation-recombination scenario. We systematically observed that the resonant biexciton state population is competing with an acoustic-phonon assisted population of an exciton state. These findings show that under typical two-photon resonant excitation conditions deterministic biexciton state initialization can be compromised. This complication should be taken into account by the community members aiming to utilise similar epitaxial QDs with an antibinding biexciton.

  We show that using acoustic modulation allows selectively exciting either exciton or biexciton states with just one mode of vibration and one optical pulse or vice versa. This approach may pave the way for generating entanglement between an emitter and a quantum acoustic mode when using the acoustic mode as a trigger for the transitions.

• Controllable fusion of electromagnetic bosons in two-dimensional semiconductors [0.0]
  We propose a physical principle for controllable interactions of identical electromagnetic bosons (excitons or polaritons) in 2D semiconductors. Key ingredients are tightly bound biexcitons and in-plane anisotropy of the host structure due to, e.g., a uniaxial strain. We show that anisotropy-induced splitting of the radiative exciton doublet couples the biexciton state to continua of boson scattering states.

  Two non-identical quantum emitters, when placed within a cavity and coherently excited at the two-photon resonance, can reach stationary states of nearly maximal entanglement. We show that this mechanism is merely one among a complex family of phenomena that can generate both stationary and metastable entanglement when driving the emitters at the two-photon resonance.

• Hot-Band Absorption Can Mimic Entangled Two-Photon Absorption [52.77024349608834]
  We investigated the fluorescence signals from Rhodamine 6G and LDS798 excited with a CW laser or an entangled photon pair source at 1060 nm. We observed a signal that originates from hot-band absorption (HBA), which is one-photon absorption from thermally-populated vibrational levels of the ground electronic state. For the typical conditions under which E2PEF measurements are performed, contributions from the HBA process could lead to a several orders-of-magnitude overestimate of the quantum advantage for excitation efficiency.

  We study a system of two interacting, non-indentical quantum emitters driven by a coherent field. We show that the features imprinted by the two-photon dynamics into the spectrum of resonance fluorescence are particularly sensitive to changes in the distance between emitters. This can be exploited for applications such as superresolution imaging of point-like sources.
