a Schematic of the experiment: a pulsed laser pumps a QD to generate single photons that are injected inside a semiconductor microcavity. An image of the single polariton propagation is acquired with an EMCCD. b Second-order correlation function of QD emission when multiplexing the pump pulse rate to 320MHz; The antibunching value of g(2)(0) = 0.16 ± 0.05 is an unequivocal signature of single-photon emission from these QDs
