• Abstract: Large-scale quantum networks require the implementation of long-lived quantum memories as stationary nodes interacting with qubits of light. Epitaxially grown quantum dots hold great potential for the on-demand generation of single and entangled photons with high purity and indistinguishability. Coupling these emitters to memories with long coherence times enables the development of hybrid nanophotonic devices incorporating the advantages of both systems. Here we report the first GaAs/AlGaAs quantum dots grown by droplet etching and nanohole infilling method, emitting single photons with a narrow wavelength distribution (736.2 $\pm$ 1.7 nm) close to the zero-phonon line of Silicon-vacancy centers. Polarization entangled photons are generated via the biexciton-exciton cascade with a fidelity of (0.73 $\pm$ 0.09). High single photon purity is maintained from 4 K (g$^($$^2$$^)$(0) = 0.07 $\pm$ 0.02) up to 80 K (g$^($$^2$$^)$(0) = 0.11 $\pm$ 0.01), therefore making this hybrid system technologically attractive for real-world quantum photonic applications.

  Single photon emitters reported to date often fall short of the perceived requirement for such applications. These emitters exhibit excellent purity (even at high emission rates) and improved out-coupling due to the use of a gold back reflector that quenches emission away from the nanopillar.

  No class-B quantum density-matrix model is available to date, capable of accurately describing coherence and photon correlations within a unified theory. Here we carry out a density-matrix theoretical approach for generic class-B lasers, and provide closed equations for the photonic and atomic reduced density matrix in the Fock basis of photons. This model enables the study of few-photon bifurcations and non-classical photon correlations in class-B laser devices, also leveraging quantum descriptions of coherently coupled nanolaser arrays.
