Tunable Nanoengineered Transition Metal Dichalcogenides for Quantum Nanophotonics
In optical quantum computing, qubits are encoded on single indistinguishable photons emitted by single-photon sources (SPSs). The computation is carried out by interfering single photons and by measuring the output using single-photon detectors. A scalable optical quantum computer requires many individual SPSs emitting indistinguishable single photons, however, different SPSs emit light at slightly different wavelengths due to fabrication imperfections. This issue can be resolved by implementing an active control for each SPS to ensure generation of completely identical photons. Despite recent progress, active control of individual SPSs still remains one of the biggest challenges in future…
