This paper addresses sub-Poissonian electronic and photonic noise generation in semiconductor junctions. Recent theoretical and technical advances in the understanding and generation of quantum noise-suppressed (‘quiet’) light have emphasised the links between photonic and electronic shot noise. Shot-noise suppression and single electron–photon control through the operation of the collective and single-electron Coulomb blockade mechanisms are described.

Widely frequency tunable bright sub-Poissonian field preparation has been experimentally achieved with quantum-correlated twin beams in the continuously variable regime. The noise of the sub-Poissonian field is reduced to more than 2 dB below the shot-noise level throughout the entire wavelength-tunable range of 7.4 nm. A maximum noise reduction of 45% (2.6 dB) is observed. The statistical distribution of a sub-Poissonian field is also obtained.
