- Abstract summary: We demonstrate scattering of laser light from two InAs quantum dots coupled to a photonic crystal waveguide.
By performing measurements of the intensity and photon statistics of transmitted laser light before and after tuning the dots into resonance, we show that the nonlinearity is enhanced by collective scattering.

- Abstract: We demonstrate scattering of laser light from two InAs quantum dots coupled
to a photonic crystal waveguide, which is achieved by strain-tuning the optical
transitions of the dots into mutual resonance. By performing measurements of
the intensity and photon statistics of transmitted laser light before and after
tuning the dots into resonance, we show that the nonlinearity is enhanced by
collective scattering. In addition to providing a means of manipulating
few-photon optical nonlinearities, our approach establishes new opportunities
for multi-emitter quantum optics in a solid-state platform.

The combination of two arrays is found to induce strong photon-photon interactions that can convert an incoming classical beam into highly antibunched light.
Such quantum metasurfaces open up new possibilities for coherently generating and manipulating nonclassical light.

Entanglement in high-dimensional quantum systems, where one or more degrees of freedom of light are involved, offers increased information capacities and enables new quantum protocols.

We generate highly entangled photon pairs at telecom wavelength that we characterise via two-photon interference and quantum state tomography, achieving near-unity visibilities and fidelities.
