NICOP --Gallium Nitride for Quantum Applications

Abstract

Single photon emitters (SPEs) underpin many next generation quantum technologies, including quantum computing, secure cryptography a""nd sensing. However, despite the development of numerous SPS systems, there still is no ideal on-demand SPS in a material system tha"t is compatible with mature device fabrication techniques that are needed to realize practical on-chip devices [1]. Here we propose to leverage our recent discovery of room temperature SPEs in GaN to develop GaN as a platform for electrically-driven SPSs. Specifi"cally, we will fully characterize the newly discovered emitters to ascertain their suitability for quantum technologies (year 1), an"d build an on-chip electrically-driven SPS (year 2). The intended project outcomes are a new platform for integrated quantum technologies and fundamental advances in present understanding of defects in GaN
