报告摘要（Abstract）：
Optical quantum technologies are at the forefront of a forthcoming second quantum revolution, where advances in quantum photonics at the single-photon level are enabling new technologies at accelerating pace: from applications for secure quantum communication, to the realisation of quantum simulation and quantum computation protocols. The scaling of quantum photonics, however, has long been restrained by the probabilistic nature of current photon sources. I will discuss our recent advances on solid-state quantum photonics: quantum dots coupled to micropillar devices are utilised as on-demand sources of non-classical light—configurable to produce single-photon states, photon-number superpositions, or small Schrödinger cat-states. Moreover, I will show how these sources form now the basis for solid-state based multi-photon experiments, with applications ranging from Boson Sampling, to the generation of linear cluster states.
