Mode-Matched Resonant Excitation of a Nanowire Quantum Dot in a Nanophotonic Waveguide
Bibliographic record
Abstract
High Resolution Image Download MS PowerPoint Slide Nanowire-based quantum dots as sources of single photons are promising candidates for the implementation of quantum photonic technologies. Achieving coherent control of these sources is essential for generating indistinguishable single photons─a key requirement for quantum interference. However, coherent excitation of nanowire quantum dots via resonant pumping has remained a long-standing challenge due to high laser suppression requirements. Here we establish a reliable technique to implement resonant excitation of a quantum dot in a tapered single-mode nanowire waveguide by complementing polarization–rejection with mode-matching to minimize the amount of backscattered laser. We demonstrate low multiphoton emission [ g X (2) (0) = 0.019] and multiple Rabi oscillations under pulsed resonant excitation. We also report on two-photon indistinguishability under resonant excitation, achieving an interference visibility of 41%. This is a significant improvement over incoherent excitation and represents an important step in the development of a scalable approach for producing coherent single-photon sources.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
