Controlled light-matter coupling for a single quantum dot embedded in a pillar microcavity using far-field optical lithography

Abstract

Using far field optical lithography, a single quantum dot is positioned within a pillar microcavity with a 50 nm accuracy. The lithography is performed in-situ at 10 K while measuring the quantum dot emission. Deterministic spectral and spatial matching of the cavity-dot system is achieved in a single step process and evidenced by the observation of strong Purcell effect. Deterministic coupling of two quantum dots to the same optical mode is achieved, a milestone for quantum computing.Comment: Modified version: new title, additional experimental data in figure
