Abstract

En 中文
High fidelity single photon sources are required for the implementation of quantum information processing and communications protocols. Although colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are single photon sources, their efficacy is limited by their tendency to show finite multiphoton emission at higher excitation powers. Here, we show that wave function engineering of CQDs enables the realization of emitters with significantly improved single photon emission performance. We study the ZnS/CdSe/CdS system. It is shown that this system offers significantly improved probabilities of single photon emission. While conventional CQDs such as CdSe/CdS exhibit a g(2)(0) > 0.5 +/- 0.02 at < N > = 2.17, ZnS/CdSe/CdS show a greatly improved g(2)(0) approximate to 0.04 +/- 0.01. Improved single photon emission performance encourages the use of colloidal materials as quantum light sources in emerging quantum devices.
