TLDR
Pulsed resonance fluorescence has been anticipated as the optimum condition for the deterministic generation of high-quality photons with vanishing effects of dephasing and is generated from a single, microcavity-embedded quantum dot under s-shell excitation with 3 ps laser pulses.Abstract:
Pulse-excited resonance-fluorescence single-photons are generated on demand from a single quantum dot embedded in a microcavity under s-shell excitation with an ultrafast laser source.read more

Quantum dot single-photon sources with ultra-low multi-photon probability
Lukas Hanschke,Kevin A. Fischer,Stefan Appel,Daniil Lukin,Jakob Wierzbowski,Shuo Sun,Rahul Trivedi,Jelena Vuckovic,Jonathan J. Finley,Kai Müller +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that the pulse-length dependence of the multi-photon error rate reveals a quadratic dependence in contrast to the linear dependence of resonantly excited two-level systems.

TL;DR: This experiment uses a quantum-dot-micropillar single-photon source demultiplexed into up to seven input ports of a 16×16 mode ultralow-loss photonic circuit, and detects three-, four- and fivefold coincidence counts, and demonstrates that boson sampling with a few photons lost can increase the sampling rate.

TL;DR: This work exploits for the first time the full potential of a novel phonon-assisted two-photon excitation scheme, which allows for the generation of highly indistinguishable single photons and entangled photon-pairs, enables push-button biexciton state preparation and outperforms conventional resonant two- phoenix excitation schemes in terms of robustness against environmental decoherence.

Measurement of subpicosecond time intervals between two photons by interference.
TL;DR: A fourth-order interference technique has been used to measure the time intervals between two photons, and by implication the length of the photon wave packet, produced in the process of parametric down-conversion.
