On-demand semiconductor single-photon source with near-unity indistinguishability

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.

Linear optical quantum computing with photonic qubits

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the original theory and its improvements, and a few examples of experimental two-qubit gates are given, and the use of realistic components, the errors they induce in the computation, and how these errors can be corrected is discussed.
