Structured Single-photon Metasource

Structured quantum light is crucial for high-dimensional quantum information processing, yet its direct generation from quantum emitters remains challenging due to their intrinsic locality and omnidirectional radiation. Metasurfaces have been adopted for quantum-light wavefront shaping, typically in cascaded or stacked configurations that suffer from low efficiency and limited resolution. Here, we demonstrate a semiconductor metasource that directly embodies single quantum dots in a nonlocal GaAs metasurface. Spontaneous emission from quantum dot is efficiently funneled into an extended quasi-bound-state-in-the-continuum mode while sustaining strong mode-emitter overlap. A lateral core-barrier heterostructure tunes mode volume and spatial distribution to balance Purcell enhancement and holographic resolution. Using spatially modulated geometric phase, our compact metasource enables deterministic generation of diverse single-photon radiation patterns, including orbital-angular-momentum beams and holographic images. Our work brings versatile single-photon wavefront control into the nanoscale cavity quantum electrodynamics regime, offering a scalable route toward integrated sources of structured quantum light.

Robust biexciton preparation for entangled photon-pair generation by single-shot Floquet driving

Quantum emitters driven by resonant two-photon excitation are a leading source for deterministically generated entangled photon pairs, essential for scalable photonic quantum technologies. However, conventional excitation schemes pose various constraints, limiting their scalability and practicability. Here, we demonstrate how biexciton preparation schemes with significantly improved robustness and reduced experimental demands can be identified using a novel design principle: ultrafast single-shot Floquet driving. This is achieved by employing two strongly and symmetrically detuned dichromatic pulses, whose superposition generates a stroboscopic Hamiltonian that enables direct coupling between ground and biexciton states. Moreover, a pulse delay serves as a tuning knob, introducing an effective magnetic field making biexciton preparation particularly robust. Experimentally, we achieve a biexciton occupation exceeding 96% and preserve photon-pair entanglement with a fidelity of 93.4%. Our work opens avenues for designing a class of quantum control protocols with superior performance across diverse quantum emitters and qubit platforms.
