There are two complementary approaches for utilizing quantum optical phenomena in the solid-state. On the one hand, thanks to their superior optical properties and the possibility of integration in photonic nanostructures, semiconductor quantum dots play a central role in the realization of single-photon sources, all-optical spin manipulation as well as demonstration of a quantum interface between flying photonic qubits and stationary spin qubits. On the other hand, quantum optical techniques such as cavity quantum electrodynamics or photon correlation measurements are instrumental in providing new spectroscopic tools for studying many-body phenomena such as the Fermi-edge singularity or the quantum Hall effect. In this talk, I will describe recent experiments addressing these new frontiers at the intersection of quantum optics, condensed-matter physics and quantum information processing.
