Abstract

Efficient generation and detection of coherent single photons are key to advances in photonic quantum technologies such as quantum computation, quantum simulation, and quantum communication. Among many quantum emitters, semiconductor quantum dots are promising due to their deterministic and high-rate single-photon emission and the possibility of integration into nanostructures. However, poor quantum coherence between single photons created by independent emitters poses a major roadblock. Here, we present near-unity two-photon interference visibilities from two separate GaAs quantum dots. This high visibility (~93%) is achieved under rigorous conditions: there is no Purcell enhancement, no temporal post-selection, no narrow spectral filtering, nor frequency stabilization. One key component is the heterostructure, an n-i-p diode using material of excellent quality. The quantum dot charge is locked via Coulomb blockade; within a charging plateau, the exact emission frequency can be tuned via the bias applied to the gate; the charge noise is very low. A second key component is the quantum dot itself: the relatively large size confers multiple benefits. Our results suggest that GaAs quantum dots represent a versatile choice for generating identical photons from multiple emitters.
