ERC Project The group hosts the ERC Starting grant of Marta De Luca. NANOWHYR: Dots-in-NANOWires by near-field illumination: novel single-photon sources for HYbRid quantum photonic circuits The project aims at creating movable quantum light emitters for photonic circuits. In silicon-based quantum photonic circuits, a significant challenge is the efficient integration of a III-V-based single photon source. We are utilizing semiconductor nanowires because they can be grown directly on silicon or transferred to it after growth. When a nanowire incorporates a single photon emitter, such as a quantum dot, it becomes a movable light source. We are exploring the fabrication of quantum light emitters via a combination of hydrogenation and near-field illumination. This method enables the creation of an arbitrary number of quantum light emitters, which can be controlled in energy and position, allowing for integration in cavities.
