Description
Single-photon sources are crucial components in quantum photonics applications, such as quantum communications or computing. Ideally, these sources emit one photon at a time, are highly efficient, and can be integrated into photonic circuits for complex quantum system designs. Various platforms have been explored to achieve such sources, with semiconductor quantum dots being particularly attractive. Specifically, quantum dots embedded in III-V semiconductor nanowires have demonstrated high performance and practicality in fabrication and integration. In this talk, I aim to explain the applications of single photon sources, their theoretical physical principles, their strengths and challenges associated with their practical usage, the advantages and fabrication process of nanowire-based single photon sources and this technology’s state-of-the-art.
