contents Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are a powerful tool for controlling a wide range of quantum systems, particularly quantum dots (QDs) via their oscillating strain fields. The resulting energy modulation of these single photon sources can be harnessed to achieve spectral overlap between two QDs otherwise emitting at different wavelengths. In this study, we integrate InAsP/InP nanowire quantum dots onto a thin-film lithium niobate platform, a strong piezoelectric material, and embed them within Si$_{3}$N$_{4}$-loaded waveguides. We demonstrate emission wavelength modulation of 0.70 nm at 13 dBm with a single focused interdigital transducer (FIDT) operating at 400 MHz, and achieve twice this modulation by using two FIDTs as an acoustic cavity. Additionally, we bring two QDs with an initial wavelength difference of 0.5 nm into resonance using SAWs. This scalable strain-tuning approach represents a significant step towards producing indistinguishable single photons from remote emitters heterogeneously integrated on a single photonic chip, and paves the way for large scale on-chip quantum information processing using photonic platforms.
