The heteroepitaxy of III-V semiconductors on silicon is a promising approach for making silicon a photonic platform for on-chip optical interconnects and quantum optical applications. Monolithic integration of both material systems is a long-time challenge, since different material properties lead to high defect densities in the epitaxial layers. In recent years, nanostructures however have shown to be suitable for successfully realising light emitters on silicon, taking advantage of their geometry. Facet edges and sidewalls can minimise or eliminate the formation of dislocations, and due to the reduced contact area, nanostructures are little affected by dislocation networks. Here we demonstrate the potential of indium phosphide quantum dots as efficient light emitters on CMOS-compatible silicon substrates, with luminescence characteristics comparable to mature devices realised on III-V substrates. For the first time, electrically driven single-photon emission on silicon is presented, meeting the wavelength range of silicon avalanche photo diodes highest detection efficiency.

Fiber-based bidirectional photon extraction from nanoscale emitters and photon antibunching behavior between two outputs of two single mode optical fibers are experimentally demonstrated. Flakes of the epitaxial layer containing the InAs quantum dots
(QDs) are fixed mechanically by both side with the edge faces of the single-mode-fiber (SMF) patch cables. The emitting photons from the single quantum dot are directly taken out of both side through the SMFs. Single-photon emission between two SMF outputs is confirmed by detecting non-classical antibunching in second-order photon correlation measurements with two superconducting single-photon detectors (SSPDs) and a time-amplitude converter (TAC). This simple opto-mechanical alignment-free single-photon emitter has advantage of robust stability more than 10 days and low-cost fabrication.
In the field of condensed matter, graphene plays a central role as an emerging material for nanoelectronics. Nevertheless, graphene is a semimetal, which constitutes a severe limitation for some future applications. Therefore, a lot of efforts are be
ing made to develop semiconductor materials whose structure is compatible with the graphene lattice. In this perspective, little pieces of graphene represent a promising alternative. In particular, their electronic, optical and spin properties can be in principle controlled by designing their size, shape and edges. As an example, graphene nanoribbons with zigzag edges have localized spin polarized states. Likewise, singlet-triplet energy splitting can be chosen by designing the structure of graphene quantum dots. Moreover, bottom-up molecular synthesis put these potentialities at our fingertips. Here, we report on a single emitter study that directly addresses the intrinsic properties of a single graphene quantum dot. In particular, we show that graphene quantum dots emit single photons at room temperature with a high purity, a high brightness and a good photostability. These results pave the way to the development of new quantum systems based on these nanoscale pieces of graphene.
Optical quantum emitters are a key component of quantum devices for metrology and information processing. In particular, atomic defects in 2D materials can operate as optical quantum emitters that overcome current limitations of conventional bulk emi
tters, such as yielding a high single-photon generation rate and offering surface accessibility for excitation and photon extraction. Here we demonstrate electrically stimulated photon emission from individual point defects in a 2D material. Specifically, by bringing a metallic tip into close proximity to a discrete defect state in the band gap of WS2, we induce inelastic tip-to-defect electron tunneling with an excess of transition energy carried by the emitted photons. We gain atomic spatial control over the emission through the position of the tip, while the spectral characteristics are highly customizable by varying the applied tip-sample voltage. Atomically resolved emission maps of individual sulfur vacancies and chromium substituent defects are in excellent agreement with the electron density of their respective defect orbitals as imaged via conventional elastic scanning tunneling microscopy. Inelastic charge-carrier injection into localized defect states of 2D materials thus provides a powerful platform for electrically driven, broadly tunable, atomic-scale single-photon sources.
The optical properties of single InAsP/InP quantum dots are investigated by spectrally-resolved and time-resolved photoluminescence measurements as a function of excitation power. In the short-wavelength region (below 1.45 $mu$m), the spectra display
sharp distinct peaks resulting from the discrete electron-hole states in the dots, while in the long-wavelength range (above 1.45 $mu$m), these sharp peaks lie on a broad spectral background. In both regions, cascade emission observed by time-resolved photoluminescence confirms that the quantum dots possess discrete exciton and multi-exciton states. Single photon emission is reported for the dots emitting at 1.3 $mu$m through anti-bunching measurements.
We study synchronized quantized charge pumping through several dynamical quantum dots (QDs) driven by a single time modulated gate signal. We show that the main obstacle for synchronization being the lack of uniformity can be overcome by operating th
e QDs in the decay cascade regime. We discuss the mechanism responsible for lifting the stringent uniformity requirements. This enhanced functionality of dynamical QDs might find applications in nanoelectronics and quantum metrology.
