Grant: Collaborative Science, Technology and Innovation Program - Collaborative R&D Initiatives
Dalhousie University
$544,500.00
On-chip sources of indistinguishable photons in the telecom band from quantum dot nanowires
FY 2022-23 · 2023-03-22
Summary
Sources of single photons are key resources for future quantum sensors and quantum networks. The Project aims to optimise single photon source operation in quantum dot nanowire-based devices by merging the expertise of world-renowned researchers from the NRC in the fabrication of semiconductor nanostructures for quantum photonics and the expertise of the Dalhousie Ultrafast Quantum Control Group in the development of optimal quantum control strategies for the optical triggering of quantum emitters. The research program will work on both 950nm and 1310nm devices produced by the NRC, applying a newly developed pumping scheme, Notch-Filtered Adiabatic Rapid Passage (NARP), to simultaneously optimize photon indistinguishability, brightness and photon purity
