Single-photon sources in diamond, silicon carbide and gallium nitride

Yu Zhou

Solid-state single-photon sources are the central blocks for many scalable quantum applications including quantum computing, quantum key distributions, and quantum simulations. Over the years, diverse quantum emitters have been studied. This thesis endeavored investigations into single-photon sources in diamond, silicon carbide and gallium nitride in three directions: Firstly, identification of the single-photon sources that have never been reported before and fabrication technique for scalable single germanium vacancy centers in diamond. Telecom wavelength single photon sources have been found in both gallium nitride and silicon carbide. More importantly, those emitters work even at room temperature and are promising for quantum key distribution applications in the future. Secondly, the spin properties study of the single silicon vacancy in diamond: the silicon vacancy optical transition has been coherently controlled in the work. The optical Rabi oscillations in the time domain have been observed. The ultrafast spin control of the silicon vacancy has been also achieved. Thirdly, quantum applications of the divacancy spins in silicon carbide: nano-scale thermometry based on the quantum control of the divacancy spin in silicon carbide has been introduced. Especially, we found a self-protected effect that the transverse strain can protect the spin from the local magnetic field and enables longer coherence time. Finally, some possible directions have been discussed.

Photon emission enhancement of lanthanoid ions implanted in gallium nitride nanostructures

佐藤 真一郎, Takao Oto, Andrew D. Greentree +7 more

Reliable single-photon sources (SPSs) that provide on-demand single photons are indispensable in the rapidly growing field of quantum technologies. To be maximally useful, they must operate at room temperature, be compatible with mature fabrication processes, and integrate seamlessly with other photonic systems. These requirements have driven research into gallium nitride (GaN)-based photon emitters and devices. Lanthanoid (Ln)-doped GaN exhibits temperature-insensitive, spectrally sharp, and stable visible/near infrared emission. Additionally, Ln-doped GaN leverages a well-developed GaN platform, enabling integration into more complex devices. However, the spontaneous emission rate of Ln ions in the 4f-4f transition is lower than that of other SPS candidates, such as quantum dots. In this study, we present two types of nanostructures that enhance the photon emission of implanted Ln ions in GaN: nanopillar structures and photonic crystal nanocavities. We discuss the mechanisms by which these nanostructures enhance photon emission and explore the future prospects of Ln-doped GaN SPS.
