- Abstract: The desire to understand the interaction between light and matter has
stimulated centuries of research, leading to technological achievements that
have shaped our world. One contemporary frontier of research into light-matter
interaction considers regimes where quantum effects dominate. By understanding
and manipulating these quantum effects, a vast array of new quantum-enhanced
technologies become accessible. In this thesis, I explore and analyze
fundamental components and processes for quantum optical devices with a focus
on solid-state quantum systems. This includes indistinguishable single-photon
sources, deterministic sources of entangled photonic states, photon-heralded
entanglement generation between remote quantum systems, and deterministic
optically-mediated entangling gates between local quantum systems. For this
analysis, I make heavy use of an analytic quantum trajectories approach applied
to a general Markovian master equation of an optically-active quantum system,
which I introduce as a photon-number decomposition. This approach allows for
many realistic system imperfections, such as emitter pure dephasing, spin
decoherence, and measurement imperfections, to be taken into account in a
straightforward and comprehensive way.

sources [0.0]
Quantum emitters, such as atoms, defects in crystals, or quantum dots, are excellent sources of indistinguishable single-photons for quantum technologies.
Upon coherent excitation, the emitted photonic state includes a vacuum component in a quantum superposition with the one-photon component.
Here we experimentally and theoretically study how the presence of photon-number coherence alters the foundation of photon-photon gates.

Quantum interference can be enabled by projecting the quantum state onto ambiguous properties that render the photons indistinguishable.
By combining these ideas, here we design and experimentally demonstrate a simple and robust scheme that tailors quantum interference to engineer photonic states.
We believe these spatially-engineered multi-photon quantum states may be of significance in fields such as quantum metrology, microscopy, and communications.

In particular, we illustrate a possible photonic implementation where the information is encoded in the orbital angular momentum and polarization degrees of freedom of single photons.
