Abstract
We develop a framework to calculate the density matrix of a pair of photons emitted in a decay cascade with partial ``which path'' ambiguity. We describe an appropriate entanglement distillation scheme which works also for certain random cascades. The qualitative features of the distilled entanglement are presented in a two dimensional ``phase diagram.'' The theory is applied to the quantum tomography of the decay cascade of a biexciton in a semiconductor quantum dot. Agreement with experiment is obtained.

Entanglement on demand through time reordering.

TL;DR: Entangled photons can be generated on demand in a novel scheme involving unitary time reordering of the photons emitted in a radiative decay and can be applied to the biexciton cascade in quantum dots.

Distilling one, two and entangled pairs of photons from a quantum dot with cavity QED effects and spectral filtering

TL;DR: In this paper, a quantum dot can be used as a source of one-and two-photon states and of polarisation entangled photon pairs, and the emission of such states is investigated from the point of view of frequency-resolved twophoton correlations.

Distilling one, two and entangled pairs of photons from a quantum dot with cavity QED effects and spectral filtering

TL;DR: In this article, a quantum dot can be used as a source of one and two-photon states and of polarization entangled photon pairs, and a combination of these various options is used to iteratively refine the emission in a distillation process and arrive at highly correlated states with a high purity.

Cooper-pair-based photon entanglement without isolated emitters

TL;DR: In this article, the recombination of Cooper pairs in semiconductors can be used as a natural source of polarization-entangled photons, making use of the inherent angular momentum entanglement in the superconducting state.

Entangled photon pairs from a quantum-dot cascade decay: The effect of time reordering

TL;DR: In this article, the color coincidence across generation (AG) strategy was proposed as an alternative to the previous within generation approach, which theoretically analyzes the color similarity across generation strategy.
