Stable Luminescence of Single Quantum Emitters: Applications in Quantum Optics

Applications of Quantum Dots in Cell Tracking

Tracking cells after transplantation is always one the main concerns of researchers in the field of regenerative medicine. Finding a tracer with long stability and low cytotoxicity can be considered as a solution for this issue. Semiconductor nanocrystals, also called quantum dots (QDs), have unique photophysical properties which make them as suitable candidate in this setting. Broad-range exci...

Quantum optics with single quantum dot devices

A single radiative transition in a single-quantum emitter results in the emission of a single photon. Single quantum dots are single-quantum emitters with all the requirements to generate single photons at visible and near-infrared wavelengths. It is also possible to generate more than single photons with single quantum dots. In this paper we show that single quantum dots can be used to generat...

Integrated quantum photonic devices with single quantum dot emitters

Integrated quantum photonic devices with single quantum dot emitters A. Mark Fox University of Sheffield The integration of semiconductornanostructures with on-chip photonic devices offers the possibility to incorporate quantum-dot (QD) single-photon sources into advanced quantum-optical circuits. In order achieve this goal, a number of key photonic components have to be developed in a platform...
