β¦ Synopsis
We report on theoretical and experimental demonstration of high-efficiency coupling of two-photon entangled states produced in the nonlinear process of spontaneous parametric down conversion into a single-mode fiber. We determine constraints for the optimal coupling parameters. This result is crucial for practical implementation of quantum key distribution protocols with entangled states.

We review recent theoretical progress on the use of electron spins as qubits in coupled semiconductor quantum dots for quantum information processing. We discuss the spin exchange mechanism and its microscopic origin in both laterally and vertically tunnelcoupled quantum dots and explain how it can
When two photons are coded into entangled polarization states, one of the eigenstates of the direct product of the fiber transfer function matrix is found to be independent of the transmission fiber birefringence. The eigenstate is the entangled singlet state < , one of the Bell states. The entangle
## Abstract We create pairs of nonβdegenerate timeβbin entangled photons at telecom wavelengths with ultraβshort pump pulses. Entanglement is shown by performing Bell kind tests of the Franson type with visibilities of up to 91 timeβbin entanglement can easily be protected from decoherence as encou
We have obtained quantum states of light from the emission of an isolated InAs quantum dot. Single photon emission is observed via correlation experiments. Moreover, cross-correlation experiments reveal the sequential de-excitation of the quantum dot, yielding a radiative cascade that produces two s
