Influence of phonons on solid-state cavity-QED investigated using nonequilibrium Green's functions

Gaston Hornecker, Alexia Auffèves, Thomas Grange

The influence of electron--phonon interactions on the dynamics of a quantum dot coupled to a photonic cavity mode is investigated using a nonequilibrium Green's function approach.…

Coherent control of a solid-state quantum bit with few-photon pulses

V. Giesz, N. Somaschi, G. Hornecker +12

Single photons are the natural link between the nodes of a quantum network: they coherently propagate and interact with many types of quantum bits including natural and artificial…

Near optimal single photon sources in the solid state

N. Somaschi, V. Giesz, L. De Santis +15

Single-photons are key elements of many future quantum technologies, be it for the realisation of large-scale quantum communication networks for quantum simulation of chemical and…

Tunable cavity coupling of the zero phonon line of a nitrogen-vacancy defect in diamond

S. Johnson, P. R. Dolan, T. Grange +7

We demonstrate the tunable enhancement of the zero phonon line of a single nitrogen-vacancy color center in diamond at cryogenic temperature. An open cavity fabricated using focuse…

Cavity-funneled generation of indistinguishable single photons from strongly dissipative quantum emitters

Thomas Grange, Gaston Hornecker, David Hunger +4

We investigate theoretically the generation of indistinguishable single photons from a strongly dissipative quantum system placed inside an optical cavity. The degree of indistingu…

Phonon-tuned bright single-photon source

Simone Luca Portalupi, Gaston Hornecker, Valérian Giesz +8

Pure and bright single photon sources have recently been obtained by inserting solid-state emitters in photonic nanowires or microcavities. The cavity approach presents the attract…
