Manipulating Quantum Light on a Chip: From Heralded Single Photon Purification to Effective Photon-Photon Interactions
Photons are a potential resource for a growing host of applications in quantum technologies and quantum information sciences. A particular interest is in effectively harvesting pure single photons from simple quantum emitters, and in finding effective ways for strong interactions between only a few photons.
In this talk I will review our progress towards a realization of bright, high-purity single photon sources from impure photon emitters, by designing hybrid nano-emitter – nano-antenna devices that can efficiently extract and direct single photons using indeterministic two- photon states. I will also introduce our recent results showing on-chip low-loss guiding and large electrically-controlled enhancement of effective photon interactions in an optical waveguide by utilizing strong interactions of photons with dipolar excitations in semiconductors.
