• Abstract summary: Cluster states are key resources for measurement-based quantum information processing. We demonstrate a semiconductor quantum dot based device in which the confined hole spin acts as a needle in a quantum knitting machine. We use polarization tomography on four sequentially detected photons to demonstrate and to directly quantify the robustness of the cluster's entanglement and the determinism in its photon generation.

• Abstract: Cluster states are key resources for measurement-based quantum information processing. Photonic cluster and graph states, in particular, play indispensable roles in quantum network and quantum metrology. We demonstrate a semiconductor quantum dot based device in which the confined hole spin acts as a needle in a quantum knitting machine producing continuously and deterministically at sub-Gigahertz repetition rate single indistinguishable photons which are all polarization entangled to each other and to the spin in a one dimensional cluster state. By projecting two nonadjacent photons onto circular polarization bases we disentangle the spin from the photons emitted in between, thus continuously and deterministically preparing all-photonic cluster states for the first time. We use polarization tomography on four sequentially detected photons to demonstrate and to directly quantify the robustness of the cluster's entanglement and the determinism in its photon generation.

  A spin-photon interface based on a singly charged quantum dot in a micropillar cavity allows for the creation of photonic entangled states. We show that the concurrence of the spin-photon state equal to one and complete quantum dot population can be reached for a micropillar cavity with any degree of birefringence.

  We propose a scheme for producing bursts of polarised single photons by coupling a generalised atomic emitter to an optical cavity. In connection with two re-preparation methods, simulations predict 10-photon bursts coincidence count rates on the order of 1 kHz. This paves the way for novel n-photon experiments with atom-cavity sources.

  Vortices are hallmark of nontrivial dynamics in nonlinear physics. We report on the realization of quantum vortices resulting from a strong photon-photon interaction in a quantum nonlinear optical medium. For three photons, the formation of vortex lines and a central vortex ring attests to a genuine three-photon interaction.

  We consider an ensemble of Alkali atoms that are continuously optically pumped and probed. Due to the collective scattering of photons at large optical depth, the steady state of atoms does not correspond to an uncorrelated tensor-product state. We find and characterize regimes of Raman lasing, akin to the model of a superradiant laser.

  We show that our method can be used for characterizing the periodic process map, which produces the photonic cluster. The 3-fold enhanced generation rate over previous demonstrations reduces the spin decoherence between the pulses and thereby increases the entanglement.

  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. Here, we demonstrate a functional source of high-dimensional, noise-resilient hyperentangled states encoded in time-frequency and vector-vortex structured modes. 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.
