• Abstract summary: Generation of polarization-entangled photons from quantum dots is complicated by the presence of an energy spitting between the intermediate excitonic levels. We present a novel, conceptually simple and straightforward proposal for restoring the entanglement of said source by applying a cascade of time-dependent operations on the emitted photons.

• Abstract: Generation of polarization-entangled photons from quantum dots via the biexciton-exciton recombination cascade is complicated by the presence of an energy spitting between the intermediate excitonic levels, which severely degrades the quality of the entangled photon source. In this paper we present a novel, conceptually simple and straightforward proposal for restoring the entanglement of said source by applying a cascade of time-dependent operations on the emitted photons. This is in striking contrast with the techniques usually employed, that act on the quantum emitter itself in order to remove the fine structure splitting at its root. The feasibility of the implementation with current technology is discussed, and the robustness of the proposed compensation scheme with respect to imperfections of the experimental apparatus is evaluated via a series of Monte Carlo simulations.

  Entangled photons propagate through a complex medium such as a biological tissue or a turbulent atmosphere. Using wavefront shaping to compensate for the scattering and retrieve the two-photon correlations is challenging due to the low signal-to-noise ratio. We propose and demonstrate a new feedback mechanism that is inspired by Klyshko's advanced wave picture.
