Work
Yamamoto's scientific focuses in the 1980s were
During the 2000s, his most important work was on the development of optically-active quantum dots as a platform for quantum information processing (both as single-photon sources [7][8] and as hosts for spin qubits.[11][12]) Another important work was on exciton-polariton condensation effects.[13][14] Yamamoto was also active in the development of security theory and realization of quantum key distribution protocols.[9][10] Landmark papers from this era include the demonstration of indistinguishable photons from a single quantum dot;[7] the proposal for biexciton cascade emission as a method for generating entangled photons from a single quantum dot [8] (this is the proposal underlying essentially all QD entangled-photon sources, such as those reviewed in [22]), and control of a single spin qubit in a quantum dot using optical pulses.[11]
During the 2010s, his work has continued on exploring quantum dots as a platform for building both quantum repeaters and quantum computers. One highlight was the co-first demonstration (with
