Quantum networking with quantum dots coupled to micro-cavities

We describe an effect called Dipole Induced Transparency which enables a dipole emitter to strongly modify the cavity spectrum, even in the weak coupling regime. We then describe a method for generating entanglement and performing a full Bell measurement between two QDs using Dipole Induced Transparency. Finally, we show how DIT enables entanglement between QDs with vastly different radiative properties. The proposal is shown to be robust to cavity resonance mismatch.
