The on-chip integration of single photon and entangled emitters such as epitaxially grown semiconductor quantum dots into photonic frameworks is a rapidly evolving research field. GaAs offer high purity degree entanglement due to, in part, exhibiting very small fine structure splitting along with short radiative lifetimes. Integrating strain-tunable nanostructures enhances the optical fingerprint, i.e., lifetimes coupling these sources, allows for manipulation routing generated states light....
