Integrating Nearly-Indistinguishable Quantum Emitters onto a Photonic Interposer
Current challenges for quantum repeaters using solid-state emitters include incorporating (1) multiple nearly-indistinguishable emitters (2) into an interposer with pho-tonic processing capabilities. We develop a process flow that targets both of these tasks.

Newly discovered silicon nitride quantum emitters hold great promise for industrial-scale quantum photonic applications. We assess the performance of intrinsic room-temperature SiN single-photon emitters for quantum key distribution, showcasing their exceptional brightness and single-photon purity.more » « less

The past decade has brought many innovations in optical design for 3D super-resolution imaging of point-like emitters, but these methods often focus on single-emitter localization precision as a performance metric. Here, we propose a simple heuristic for designing a point spread function (PSF) that allows for precise measurement of the distance between two emitters. We discover that there are two types of PSFs that achieve high performance for resolving emitters in 3D, as quantified by the Cramér-Rao bounds for estimating the separation between two closely spaced emitters. One PSF is very similar to the existing Tetrapod PSFs; the other is a rotating single-spot PSF, which we call the crescent PSF. The latter exhibits excellent performance for localizing single emitters throughout a 1-µm focal volume (localization precisions of 7.3 nm inx, 7.7 nm iny, and 18.3 nm inzusing 1000 detected photons), and it distinguishes between one and two closely spaced emitters with superior accuracy (25-53% lower error rates than the best-performing Tetrapod PSF, averaged throughout a 1-µm focal volume). Our study provides additional insights into optimal strategies for encoding 3D spatial information into optical PSFs.more » « less

Strain engineering is a natural route to control the electronic and optical properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials. Recently, 2D semiconductors have also been demonstrated as an intriguing host of strain-induced quantum-confined emitters with unique valley properties inherited from the host semiconductor. Here, we study the continuous and reversible tuning of the light emitted by such localized emitters in a monolayer tungsten diselenide embedded in a van der Waals heterostructure. Biaxial strain is applied on the emitters via strain transfer from a lead magnesium niobate–lead titanate (PMN-PT) piezoelectric substrate. Efficient modulation of the emission energy of several localized emitters up to 10 meV has been demonstrated on application of a voltage on the piezoelectric substrate. Further, we also find that the emission axis rotates by as the magnitude of the biaxial strain is varied on these emitters. These results elevate the prospect of using all electrically controlled devices where the property of the localized emitters in a 2D host can be engineered with elastic fields for an integrated opto-electronics and nano-photonics platform.more » « less
