Solid-state based sources of non-classical light

Generating non-classical states of light constitutes a primer goal in optical quantum technologies. In this talk, I will discuss our recent advances in the generation of various kinds of non-classical light. We exploit semiconductor quantum dots to create from efficient and indistinguishable multi-photon sources, to on-demand photon-number superposition states, as well as sequentially generated linear cluster states. In overall, I will describe how this solid-state based approach can enable larger-scale quantum photonics.
