Mesoscopic quantum optics is a possible candidate for quantum information processing. The excitations of semiconductor nanostructures can produce photons with coherence and entanglement properties as those required for quantum information. We will present a theoretical analysis of the emission from semiconductor quantum dots, in some cases embedded in nanocavities. From the study of different physical processes we will try to draw some conclusions on the actual capabilities of these systems as components for quantum optics.

Work in collaboration with F. Troiani, J.I. Perea, J.I.Wilson-Rae, F. Laussy and E. del Valle.
