Quantum engineering with solid state nanophotonic systems
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Photonics and optics are ubiquitous in our daily lives. By exploiting the quantum mechanical nature of light and matter, quantum optics holds promise to revolutionize communication, computing, metrology, and sensing. One class of quantum matter that interacts strongly with light is solid state color centers. These color centers are optically active lattice defects hosted in large bandgap materials such as diamond, which can serve as individual quantum nodes interacting in a quantum network through the emitted photons. In this dissertation, we explore a type of color center in diamond called silicon-vacancy (SiV) center, which presents a promising platform for implementation of quantum technologies. In particular, we will introduce the background on the photo-physics of SiV centers in diamond, and then walk through our journey studying this color center. We start by studying the optical properties of SiVs in nanodiamonds, and created hybrid diamond-silicon carbide (SiC) platforms to take advantage of the material properties of both diamond and SiC. Next, we discuss optical coherent control of optical transition of a single SiV center in a nanopillar array platform, which is a step towards scalable, on-chip quantum systems. Lastly, we discuss our efforts to create SiV-photon interface by embedding single SiV centers in diamond optical resonators. Using this platform, we demonstrate strong Purcell enhancement and cavity-enhanced Raman emission from a single color center, thereby achieving a large frequency tuning range of 100 GHz for Raman photon emission.
