Abstract

Generation of polarization-entangled photons from quantum dots via the biexciton-exciton recombination cascade is complicated by the presence of an energy splitting between the intermediate excitonic levels, which severely degrades the quality of the entangled photon source. In this paper we present a novel, conceptually simple and straightforward proposal for restoring the entanglement of said source by applying a cascade of time-dependent operations on the emitted photons. This is in striking contrast with the techniques usually employed, that act on the quantum emitter itself in order to remove the fine structure splitting at its root. The feasibility of the implementation with current technology is discussed, and the robustness of the proposed compensation scheme with respect to imperfections of the experimental apparatus is evaluated via a series of Monte Carlo simulations.
