• Abstract: We investigate the relation between indistinguishability and quantum entanglement in Hong- Ou-Mandel-interference experiments theoretically and relate these quantum mechanical principles to the theorem of entanglement monogamy. Employing Glaubers theory of quantum coherence we compute the detection statistics in HOM-interference of frequency entangled photons, and find a new additional term in the coincidence detection probability, which is related to the spectral indistinguishability of the considered photons that arises from finite bandwidth effects, and therefore is relevant in the limit of low frequency separations or large single-photon bandwidths. Compared to previous work in that context we treat all photonic degrees of freedom (DOF) on equal footing.

• Electric-field control of photon indistinguishability in cascaded decays in quantum dots [0.0]
  Decay cascades in quantum emitters offer a simple method to create entangled photon-pairs. Indistinguishability of photons emitted in a cascade is intrinsically limited by the lifetime ratio of the involved transitions. We show that, for the biexciton-exciton cascade in a quantum dot, this ratio can be widely tuned by an applied electric field.
