Photon correlation Fourier spectroscopy of a B center in hBN
Aymeric Delteil, Stéphanie Buil, Jean-Pierre Hermier
The potential of solid-state quantum emitters for applications critically depends on several key figures of merit. One of the most important is the quantum coherence of the emitted…
Deterministic generation of single B centers in hBN by one-to-one conversion from UV centers
Andrés Núñez Marcos, Christophe Arnold, Julien Barjon +3
Among the variety of quantum emitters in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), blue-emitting color centers, or B centers, have gathered a particular interest owing to their excellent quan…
Photon statistics of resonantly driven spectrally diffusive quantum emitters
Aymeric Delteil, Stéphanie Buil, Jean-Pierre Hermier
In the solid state, a large variety of single-photon emitters present high quality photophysical properties together with a potential for integration. However, in many cases, the h…
Resonance fluorescence and indistinguishable photons from a coherently driven B centre in hBN
Domitille Gérard, Stéphanie Buil, Kenji Watanabe +3
Optically active defects in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) have become amongst the most attractive single-photon emitters in the solid state, owing to their high-quality photophysic…
Reproducible generation of green-emitting color centers in hBN using oxygen annealing
Helmi Fartas, Saïd Hassani, Jean-Pierre Hermier +3
The ability to generate quantum emitters with reproducible properties in solid-state matrices is crucial for quantum technologies. Here, we show that a high density of close-to-ide…
Crossover from inhomogeneous to homogeneous response of a resonantly driven hBN quantum emitter
Domitille Gérard, Stéphanie Buil, Jean-Pierre Hermier +1
We experimentally investigate a solid-state quantum emitter - a B center in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) - that has lifetime-limited coherence at short times, and experiences inho…
