Birefringent Spin‐Photon Interface Generates Polarization Entanglement

Abstract: A spin‐photon interface based on the luminescence of a singly charged quantum dot in a micropillar cavity allows for the creation of photonic entangled states. Current devices suffer from cavity birefringence, which limits the generation of spin‐photon entanglement. In this study, we conduct a theoretical analysis of the light absorption and emission by the interface with an anisotropic cavity and derive the maximal excitation and spin‐photon entanglement conditions. It is shown that the concurrence of the spin‐photon state equal to one and complete quantum dot population inversion can be reached for a micropillar cavity with any degree of birefringence by tuning the quantum dot resonance strictly between the cavity modes. This sweet spot is also valid for generating a multiphoton cluster state, as demonstrated by calculating the three‐tangle and fidelity with the maximally entangled state.
