This research paper presents a novel, on-chip single-photon source operating at telecom wavelengths, leveraging low-noise optomechanical transduction in a quasi-two-dimensional optomechanical crystal. The source exhibits tunable bandwidth and high single-photon purity, making it promising for quantum communication and networking applications.
Researchers have developed a highly efficient and stable fiber-coupled single-photon source with record-breaking brightness and indistinguishability, paving the way for practical quantum photonic applications.
Engineering the phonon environment of a quantum dot embedded in a nanowire, coupled with cavity quantum electrodynamics, can significantly enhance the indistinguishability of emitted photons, paving the way for improved single-photon sources.
