The primary goal of the project is to create a stable source of single photons that could be used in our quantum optics experiment. Creation of such sources received much attention recently due to fast developments in the field of quantum information and to the theoretically established possibility to build a purely linear-optics-based quantum computer. Several nanotechnological sources, based on the emission of a single quantum system, have already been created in research laboratories around the world, but you still cannot buy such a unit, suitable for your experimental needs. We plan to study the behaviour of several different emitters to find the most suitable ones for our planned quantum optics experiments. Some theoreticians at IF UT have interesting ideas in quantum optics that could be tested experimentally, if a suitable single photon source would be available. For instance, in course of this project we plan to check the hypothesis of Prof. V.Hizhnyakov according to which a tiny pinhole should increase the average coherence length of the photons transmitted. |
