Quantum dot-photonic crystal chips for quantum information processing

Abstract

We have recently developed a technique for local, reversible tuning of individual quantum dots on a photonic crystal chip by up to 1.8nm, which overcomes the problem of large quantum dot inhomogeneous broadening - usually considered the main obstacle in employing such platform in practical quantum information processing systems. We have then used this technique to tune single quantum dots into strong coupling with a photonic crystal cavity, and observed strong coupling both in photoluminescence and in resonant light scattering from the system, as needed for several proposals for scalable quantum information networks and quantum computation.
