Deterministic Single-Photon Source for Distributed Quantum Networking
Deterministic Single-Photon Source for Distributed Quantum Networking
A sequence of single photons is emitted on demand from a single three-level atom strongly coupled to a high-finesse optical cavity. The photons are generated by an adiabatically driven stimulated Raman transition between two atomic ground states, with the vacuum field of the cavity stimulating one branch of the transition, …
