Similarly to atomic systems quantum dots can be driven resonantly. Therefore, the population can be exchanged between the ground and the excited state coherently. This means that by a proper choice of the excitation pulse area one can excite the quantum dot with near unity probability. Quantum dot photons can give us polarization and time-bin entanglement. While the degree of entanglement for the polarization entanglement depends predominantly on quantum dot's symmetry, the time-bin entanglement can be achieved from asymmetric dots too.
