| contents | Photon entanglement is indispensable for optical quantum technologies. Measurement-based optical quantum computing and all-optical quantum networks rely on multiphoton cluster states consisting of indistinguishable entangled photons. A promising method for creating such cluster states on demand is spin-photon entanglement using the spin of a resident charge carrier in a quantum dot, precessing in a weak external magnetic field. In this work, we show theoretically and experimentally that spin-photon entanglement is strongly affected by the hidden anisotropy of quantum dots, which can arise from mechanical stress, shape anisotropy and even specific crystal structure. In the measurements of time-resolved photoluminescence and cross-polarized second-order photon correlation function in a magnetic field, the anisotropy manifests itself in the spin dynamics and, as a consequence, in the spin-photon concurrence. The measured time-filtered spin-photon Bell state fidelity depends strongly on the excitation polarization and reaches an extremely high value of 94% at maximum. We specify the magnetic field and excitation polarization directions that maximize spin-photon entanglement and thereby enhance the fidelity of multiphoton entangled states. |
