Abstract

We investigate the use of nanocrystal quantum dots as a versatile quantum bus element for preparing various quantum resources for use in photonic quantum technologies. The ability to Stark tune nanocrystal quantum dots allows an important degree of control over the cavity QED interaction. Using this property along with the bi-exciton transition, we demonstrate a photonic CNOT interaction between two logical photonic qubits comprising two cavity field modes each. We find the CNOT interaction to be a robust generator of photonic Bell states, even with relatively large bi-exciton losses. These results are discussed in light of the current state-of-the-art of both microcavity fabrication and recent advances in nanocrystal quantum dot technology. Overall, we find that such a scheme should be feasible in the near future with appropriate refinements to both nanocrystal fabrication technology and micro-cavity design. Such a gate could serve as an active element in photonic-based quantum technologies.
