Quantum dot based single photon sources: performance reproducibility

Although quantum dot indistinguishable single photon sources have already allowed an exponential speedup of quantum optics experiments, such as Boson Sampling, so far only single photons emitted by one quantum dot source have been used. Indeed, it remains to demonstrate that this technology can be reproducibly fabricated for widespread applications, an important challenge since quantum dots show natural inhomogeneity. In this presentation, we show that it is possible to produce multiple sources presenting homogeneous characteristics.
