We report a tunable single-photon source based on a single trapped ion. Employing spontaneous Raman scattering and in-vacuum optics with large numerical aperture, single photons are efficiently created with controlled temporal shape and coherence time. These can be varied between 70 ns and 1.6 micros, as characterized by operating two sources simultaneously in two remote ion traps which reveals mutual and individual coherence through two-photon interference.

Trapped between high numerical aperture laser objectives, a single calcium ion is converted into a high-efficiency source of single photons, with controlled coherence properties. Thereby, various schemes to establish entanglement between remote ions are probed.

We demonstrate a single-photon source for quantum networking based on a single trapped 138Ba+ ion subject to pulsed excitation, and measure a second-order autocorrelation of g(2)(0) = (8.1 ±2.3) × 10−5 without any background subtraction.
