Room-Temperature Silicon Nitride Quantum Emitters for Advancing Quantum Key Distribution

Alexander V. Senichev, Zachariah O. Martin, Samuel Peana +4 more

Newly discovered silicon nitride quantum emitters hold great promise for industrial-scale quantum photonic applications. We assess the performance of intrinsic room-temperature SiN single-photon emitters for quantum key distribution, showcasing their exceptional brightness and single-photon purity.

Study of narrowband single photon emitters in polycrystalline diamond films

Russell G. Sandstrom, Olga Shimoni, Aiden A. Martin +1 more

Quantum information processing and integrated nanophotonics require robust generation of single photon emitters on demand. In this work, we demonstrate that diamond films grown on a silicon substrate by microwave plasma chemical vapor deposition can host bright, narrowband single photon emitters in the visible—near infra-red spectral range. The emitters possess fast lifetime (∼several ns), absolute photostability, and exhibit full polarization at excitation and emission. Pulsed and continuous laser excitations confirm their quantum behaviour at room temperature, while low temperature spectroscopy is performed to investigate inhomogeneous broadening. Our results advance the knowledge of solid state single photon sources and open pathways for their practical implementation in quantum communication and quantum information processing.

Cascaded Cavities Boost the Indistinguishability of Imperfect Quantum Emitters

Hyeongrak Choi, Di Zhu, Yoseob Yoon +1 more

Recently, Grange et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 193601 (2015)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.114.193601] showed the possibility of single-photon generation with a high indistinguishability from a quantum emitter despite strong pure dephasing, by "funneling" emission into a photonic cavity. Here, we show that a cascaded two-cavity system can further improve the photon characteristics and greatly reduce the Q factor requirement to levels achievable with present-day technology. Our approach leverages recent advances in nanocavities with an ultrasmall mode volume and does not require ultrafast excitation of the emitter. These results were obtained by numerical and closed-form analytical models with strong emitter dephasing, representing room-temperature quantum emitters.
