Incoherent pumping of its excitons and biexciton provokes the emission of leaky and cavity modes. By solving a master equation we obtain the correlation functions required to compute the spectrum and the relative efficiency among the emission of pairs and single photons. A quantum regime appears for low pumping and large rate of emission. By means of a post-selection process, a two beams experiment with different linear polarizations could be performed producing a large polarization entanglement visibility precisely in the quantum regime.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2005-02-11T16:58:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum dot", "photon pairs", "microcavity", "quantum regime", "large polarization entanglement visibility" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
