Single photons from single quantum dots have already found their way into many important realizations in quantum information processing. In this chapter, we review several demonstrations using a deterministic single-photon source based on InP/GaInP quantum dots. Single-photon generation is described and verified by auto-correlation measurements. Additionally, photon pairs and triplets from multiexciton cascades are observed. Using a Michelson interferometer, an efficient separation of photon pairs can be achieved allowing multiplexing on the single-photon level. We also show the generation of non-classical states of fight. from electrically pumped quantum dots. The applicability of our sources in quantum information experiments is demonstrated in quantum key distribution and in a realization of a two-qubit Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm which uses different degrees of., freedom of a single photon. By encoding the quantum information in appropriate bases, we implement passive error correction in the presence of phase fluctuations.
