Summary: This Letter demonstrates a scalable source of time-bin encoded Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger and linear cluster states from a solid-state quantum dot embedded in a nanophotonic crystal waveguide. A self-stabilizing double-pass interferometer is utilized to measure a spin-photon Bell state with high fidelity. The strict resonant excitation enables high photon indistinguishability, conducive to scaling up the technology and producing more general graph states.

Summary: The electron spin dynamics in CdSe quantum dots with hole acceptors were investigated using time-resolved ellipticity spectroscopy. Two types of hole acceptors, Li[Et3BH] and 1-octanethiol, resulted in distinctly different electron spin dynamics. Differences were observed in electron g factors, spin dephasing/relaxation times, and mechanisms.

Summary: Hole-spin qubits in germanium show promise for rapid, all-electrical qubit control. The authors demonstrate ultrafast single-spin manipulation in a hole-based double quantum dot in a germanium hut wire, with a record Rabi frequency exceeding 540 MHz. These results suggest the potential for ultrafast coherent control of hole spin qubits to meet the requirements for scalable quantum information processing.

Summary: To improve the rapid and high-fidelity single-shot readout of quantum states, researchers used an open microcavity to enhance the optical readout signal from a semiconductor quantum dot spin state. They achieved a record readout time of only 3 nanoseconds with a fidelity of (95.2 ± 0.7)%, and observed quantum jumps using repeated single-shot measurements. This work opens up new possibilities for the use of semiconductor quantum dots in quantum technologies.

Summary: This study investigates the hole injection mechanism in quantum dot light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) through a combination of experiments and simulations. It reveals that applied bias reduces the barrier height, facilitating hole injection and confining electrons within the quantum dots. The research also demonstrates that thermally assisted tunneling is the predominant pathway for hole injection. This study is significant for understanding the hole injection mechanism in QLEDs.

Summary: The research investigates the impact of strong spin-orbit interaction and weak hyperfine interaction on double quantum dots by applying an external magnetic field to Ge quantum dots. Under high magnetic field, spin-flip tunneling induced by SOI eliminates the Pauli spin blockade, revealing the energy spectrum of the DQD; while under low magnetic field, HFI mixes different states and leads to an increased leakage current.

Summary: The selective confinement of light holes (LHs) is achieved in a low-dimensional system of Ge quantum wells, allowing for the design of an ultrafast gate-defined spin qubit under electric dipole spin resonance. The qubit size-dependent g factor and dipole moment are determined, and the parameters affecting their modulation are discussed. The dipole moment of the LH qubit is found to be orders of magnitude higher than that of the heavy-hole qubit due to significant spin splitting caused by unique cubic and linear Rashba spin-orbit interactions. The proposed all-group IV, direct band-gap LH qubit offers an effective platform for long-range entanglement distribution and quantum networks.

Summary: Population-transfer schemes are widely used to convert stored quantum information into measurable macroscopic degrees of freedom. However, the adiabatic nature of these schemes and the accumulation of errors through dephasing, leakage, and energy relaxation processes limit the fidelity that can be achieved. Here, we propose fast quasiadiabatic conversion strategies beyond the adiabatic approximation that take noise into account and allow for optimal state conversion.

Summary: We studied the coupling between a system of two-dimensional Dirac electrons on a three-dimensional topological insulator and an array of localized spins. The spins form a ferromagnetic order with spin-wave excitations. The Dirac electrons couple to the spins through a spin-dependent effective Zeeman field, leading to a gap in the electronic spectrum. Flipping a spin creates a domain with opposite Dirac mass, resulting in the appearance of an electronic bound state on the domain wall. This bound state, called Jackiw-Rebbi-Magnon (JRM), binds to delocalized spin waves and can be observed in the dynamic spin susceptibility. When the sample is tunnel coupled to an electronic reservoir, magnon-JRM polaritons are formed when a magnon hybridizes with a JRM. A quantum phase transition occurs when the energy of the magnon-JRM polariton falls below that of the fully polarized ferromagnetic ground state.

Summary: The quantum kinetic approach based on the density matrix provides a complete quantum mechanical description of optical and transport currents in solid-state systems. We discover a strong photovoltaic response called the quadrupolar photovoltaic effect (QPE) in a quantum well, resulting from nonlinear optical transitions between heavy and light hole sub-bands enabled by Td symmetry. The QPE exhibits a strong resonance in the vicinity of the heavy hole-light hole splitting, with the magnitude determined by the momentum relaxation time, making it a promising candidate for terahertz photodetectors.

Summary: We theoretically analyze the use of measurements of the transient field leaving a cavity as a tool for studying non-Markovian dynamics in cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED). By combining with a dynamical decoupling pulse sequence, transient spectroscopy can recover spectral features that are obscured in the stationary cavity transmission spectrum due to inhomogeneous broadening. The formalism introduced here can be used for in situ noise spectroscopy, revealing a robust signature of quantum noise arising from noncommuting observables, a purely quantum effect.
