While various methods have been proposed and explored, they all have specific advantages and disadvantages. This study investigates the dynamics of the recent swing‐up scheme as an excitation method for a two‐level system and its performance in single‐photon generation. By applying two far red‐detuned laser pulses, the two‐level system can be prepared in the excited state with near‐unity fidelity. The successful operation and coherent character of this technique are demonstrated using a semiconductor quantum dot (QD). Moreover, the multi‐dimensional parameter space of the two laser pulses is explored to analyze its impact on excitation fidelity. Finally, the performance of the scheme as an excitation method for generating high‐quality single photons is analyzed. The swing‐up scheme itself proves effective, exhibiting nearly perfect single‐photon purity, while the observed indistinguishability in the studied sample is limited by the influence of the inevitable high excitation powers on the semiconductor environment of the quantum dot.}}, author = {{Boos, Katarina and Sbresny, Friedrich and Kim, Sang Kyu and Kremser, Malte and Riedl, Hubert and Bopp, Frederik W. and Rauhaus, William and Scaparra, Bianca and Jöns, Klaus and Finley, Jonathan J. and Müller, Kai and Hanschke, Lukas}}, issn = {{2511-9044}}, journal = {{Advanced Quantum Technologies}}, number = {{4}}, publisher = {{Wiley}}, title = {{{Coherent Swing‐Up Excitation for Semiconductor Quantum Dots}}}, doi = {{10.1002/qute.202300359}}, volume = {{7}}, year = {{2024}}, } @unpublished{62858, abstract = {{Phonons in solid-state quantum emitters play a crucial role in their performance as photon sources in quantum technology.

Developing tools to analyze these systems at the relevant scales, in a manner consistent with quantum mechanics, is therefore critical to benchmarking performance and characterizing their operation. While classical computational approaches cannot perform like-for-like computations of quantum systems beyond a certain scale, classical high-performance computing (HPC) may nevertheless be useful for precisely these characterization and certification tasks. By developing open-source customized algorithms using high-performance computing, we perform quantum tomography on a megascale quantum photonic detector covering a Hilbert space of 106. This requires finding 108 elements of the matrix corresponding to the positive operator valued measure (POVM), the quantum description of the detector, and is achieved in minutes of computation time. Moreover, by exploiting the structure of the problem, we achieve highly efficient parallel scaling, paving the way for quantum objects up to a system size of 1012 elements to be reconstructed using this method. In general, this shows that a consistent quantum mechanical description of quantum phenomena is applicable at everyday scales.

As a concrete and focused exposition of this powerful evidence-based technique, we apply the relative-belief procedure to an important application: . In particular, just by comparing prior and posterior probabilities based on data, we demonstrate its capability of tracking multiphoton emissions using (realistically lossy) single-photon detectors in order to assess the actual quality of photon sources without making assumptions, thereby reliably safeguarding source integrity for general quantum-information and communication tasks with Bayesian reasoning.

Our approach draws inspiration from quantum state tomography by exploiting the analogy between quadrature phase space and time-frequency phase space. In the experiment, we perform time-frequency projections with a quantum pulse gate (QPG), which directly yield the chronocyclic Q −function. We evaluate the complex spectral amplitude from the measured chronocyclic Q −function data with maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), which is the established technique for quantum state tomography. The MLE yields not only an unambigious estimate of the complex spectral amplitude of the state under test that does not require any a priori information, but also allows for, in principle, estimating the spectral-temporal coherence properties of the state.

The posterior probabilities associated with the relative-belief ratios measure the strength of the evidence provide by these ratios so that we can assess whether there is weak or strong evidence in favor or against a particular dimension.
