Towards single photon transistors with 1D and 2D materials
Abstract
A single photon transistor is a quantum switching device where the transmission of a single signalphoton is controlled by the action of single control photon. Such a device has been highly soughtafter for applications in quantum information, where single photons can be used to encode andtransmit information over long distances. In order to achieve information processing/computing,the photons must be made to interact with each other which requires the use of a highly nonlinearmedium, such as a single atom-like system. The primary challenge limiting the development ofsingle photon transistors is the coupling strength between the photon and the nonlinear medium.
