This article reviews recent work on non‐classical light generation using semiconductor quantum dots. Experimental results for single‐photon generation are presented, including suppression of the two‐photon probability, coherence properties and two‐photon interference. An experiment demonstrating generation of polarization‐correlated photon pairs from biexciton recombination is also reviewed.
