abstract
Cavity-enhanced emission of electrically controlled semiconductor quantum dots is essential in developing bright quantum devices for real-world quantum photonic applications. Combining the circular Bragg grating (CBG) approach with a PIN-diode structure, we propose and implement an innovative concept for ridge-based electrically-contacted CBG resonators. Through fine-tuning of device parameters in numerical simulations and deterministic nanoprocessing, we produced electrically controlled single quantum dot CBG resonators with excellent electro-optical emission properties. These include multiple wavelength-tunable emission lines and a photon extraction efficiency (PEE) of up to (30.4$\pm$3.4)%, where refined numerical optimization based on experimental findings suggests a substantial improvement, promising PEE >50%. Additionally, the developed quantum light sources yield single-photon purity reaching (98.8$\pm$0.2)% [post-selected: (99.5$\pm$0.3)%] and a photon indistinguishability of (25.8$\pm$2.1)% [post-selected: (92.8$\pm$4.8)%]. Our results pave the way for high-performance quantum devices with combined cavity enhancement and deterministic charge-environment controls, advancing the development of photonic quantum information systems such as complex quantum repeater networks.

On-demand storage and retrieval of single photons from a semiconductor quantum dot in a room-temperature atomic vapor memory
On-demand storage and retrieval of quantum-dot single photons in a room-temperature cesium vapor memory is demonstrated with retrieval times up to 19.8 ns and a time-bandwidth product of 14.
