A review of nanostructured materials synthesized by colloidal chemistry for electronic applications
The realization of single-photon generation is important for implementing various quantum information technologies. The use of rare-earth ions in an optical fiber is a promising single photon generation method due to its ability to operate…
Single-photon superradiance can emerge when a collection of identical emitters are spatially separated by distances much less than the wavelength of the light they emit, and is characterized by the formation of a superradiant state that…
