100 million photons per second from a single organic molecule
Siwei Luo, Tim Hebenstreit, Alexey Shkarin +3
At cryogenic temperatures, organic single-photon sources (SPSs) offer Fourier-limited emission, virtually unlimited photostability, and emission wavelengths selectable by molecular…
Designing metallo-dielectric antennas for cryogenic applications
Siwei Luo, Tim Hebenstreit, Alexey Shkarin +3
We present the design of cryogenic metallo-dielectric antennas tailored to single organic emitters, where the choice of host material imposes specific constraints on the antenna ge…
Design of monolithic microcavities for enhancing organic quantum emitters
Tim Hebenstreit, Jaime Gimeno Balaguer, Fridtjof Betz +6
Single organic molecules are a well-established platform for high-quality single-photon generation: they can emit lifetime-limited photons with high purity and indistinguishability…
Benchmarking quantum key distribution by mixing single photons and laser light
Yann Portella, Petr Steindl, Juan Rafael Álvarez +8
Quantum key distribution is a key application of quantum mechanics, shaping the future of privacy and secure communications. Many protocols require single photons, often approximat…
