Single-photon as well as polarization-correlated photon pair emission from a single semiconductor quantum dots is demonstrated. Single photon generation and single photon-pair generation with little uncorrelated multiphoton emission and the feasibility of media conversion of the quantum states between photon polarization and electron spin are fundamental functions for quantum information applications. Mutual media conversion for the angular momentum between photon polarization and electron spin is also achieved with high fidelity via positively charged exciton state without external magnetic field. This is a clear indication that the coupling of photon polarizations and electron spins keeps secured during whole processes before photon emission. Possibility of a metal-embedded structure is demonstrated with the observation of drastic enhancement of excitation and/or collection efficiency of luminescence as well as clear antibunching of photons generated from a quantum dot.

For nanowire-based sources of non-classical light, the rate at which photons are generated and the ability to efficiently collect them are determined by the nanowire geometry. Using selective-area vapour-liquid-solid epitaxy, we show how it is possible to control the nanowire geometry and tailor it to optimise device performance. High efficiency single photon generation with negligible multi-photon emission is demonstrated using a quantum dot embedded in a nanowire having a geometry tailored to optimise both collection efficiency and emission rate.

We investigate the influence of multiple excitons on the photon emission properties of a quantum dot (QD)-cavity system via the master equation for the density matrix. We show that in the intermediate to strong coupling regimes, the multiple excitons lead to the suppressed QD emissions as well as the absence of anti-crossing near zero detuning, arising from the interaction between the multiple excitons and cavity. Furthermore, we analyze the role of the cavity-biexciton detuning in the photon emission properties of cavity and exciton through the second-order correlation function. The small cavity-biexciton detuning yields the significant Purcell effect and the high probability of single photon emissions. The proposed model offers the fundamental approach in developing efficient single-photon emitting devices.

A controlled quantum teleportation scheme of electron spin state in a quantum dot is proposed. With the entanglement generating through the interaction between the quantum dots in microcavities and a single photon, the controlled teleportation can be implemented using Faraday rotation and single photon measurements. The scheme can be easily generalized to multi-qubit system.

In order to control light, different strategies have been applied by placing an optically active medium into a semiconductor resonator and certain applications such as LEDs and laser diodes have been commercialized for many years. The possibility of nanoscale optical applications has created great interesting for quantum nanostructure research. Recently, single photon emission has been an active area of quantum dot research. A quantum dot is place between distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) within a micro-pillar structure. In this study, we shall report on an active layer composed of an organic material instead of a semiconductor. The micro-pillar structure is fabricated by a focused ion beam (FIB) micro-machining technique. The ultimate target is to achieve a single molecule within the micro-pillar and therefore to enable single photon emission. Here, we demonstrate some results of the fabrication procedure of a 5 micron organic micro-pillar via the focused ion beam and some measurement results from this study. The JEOL 6500 dual column system equipped with both electron and ion beams enables us to observe the fabrication procedure during the milling process. Furthermore, the strategy of the FIB micro-machining method is reported as well.
