Reducing phonon-induced decoherence in solid-state single-photon sources with cavity quantum electrodynamics

Thomas Grange, Niccolo Somaschi, Carlos Antón +7

Solid-state emitters are excellent candidates for developing integrated sources of single photons. Yet, phonons degrade the photon indistinguishability both through pure dephasing…

Scalable performance in solid-state single-photon sources

J. C. Loredo, N. A. Zakaria, N. Somaschi +13

The desiderata for an ideal photon source are high brightness, high single-photon purity, and high indistinguishability. Defining brightness at the first collection lens, these pro…
