Developing Quantum Photon Sources from Low-dimensional Semiconductor Materials
NST Colloquium
Abstract: Optical photons are ubiquitous in communication and storage applications due to their long coherence times and ease to travel over long distances. On-demand quantum photon sources that may emitter single photons as quantum information carriers are especially sought after for quantum-related applications. In this talk, I will present our recent efforts in the development of solid-state quantum photon sources based on low-dimensional semiconductor materials. By doping and wave function engineering, we have demonstrated versatile material platforms that allow efficient single photon generation and modulation.
