- Abstract: Entangled photons are crucial for quantum technologies, but generating
arbitrary entangled photon states deterministically, efficiently, and with high
fidelity remains a challenge. Here, we demonstrate how hybridization and
dipole-dipole interactions -- potentially simultaneously available in colloidal
quantum dots and molecular aggregates -- leveraged in conjunction can couple
simple, well understood emitters into composite emitters with flexible control
over the level structure. We show that cascade decay through carefully designed
level structures can result in emission of frequency-entangled photons with
Bell states and three-photon GHZ states as example cases. These results pave
the way toward rational design of quantum optical emitters of arbitrarily
entangled photons.

Spontaneous emission is a fundamental out-of-equilibrium process in which an excited quantum emitter relaxes to the ground state due to quantum fluctuations.
One way to modify these photon-mediated interactions is to alter the dipole radiation patterns of the emitter, e.g., by placing photonic crystals near them.
Our study delves into the interaction between these directional emission patterns and the aforementioned variables, revealing the untapped potential to fine-tune collective quantum optical phenomena.
