Single-photon sources as new quantum standards
Annotation in Czech
1. To develop single-photon sources as new quantum standards in the visible, near-infrared and telecom wavelength range, based on optically and electrically-driven impurity centres in nano- and bulk diamonds, quantum dots in semiconductor structures and molecules having, simultaneously, photon rates > 1 × 106 photons per second, emission bandwidths < 2 nm and high purity emission indicated by g(2)(t = 0) values < 0.05. 2. To assess new materials and concepts for single-photon sources, such as 2D materials (e.g. hexagonal boron nitride and thin transition-metal dichalcogenides) and coupling designs to optimise the collection efficiency (e.g. micro-resonators, waveguides, optical antennas). To assess the impact of excitation schemes on the quantum optical properties of single-photon sources. 3. To establish sources of indistinguishable and entangled photons based on near infrared (< 1 μm) quantum dot single-photon sources with a visibility > 90 % and novel sensing and measurement techniques based on these sources. 4. To develop metrology infrastructure for traceable single-photon source characterisation, i.e. detectors, amplifiers, single-photon spectroradiometers. 5. To promote the results, to trigger commercialisation of products, and to deliver input to standardisation organisations.

Project results evaluation
Following the condition that the candidate of financial contribution was evaluated and afterwards selected by international provider in accordance with the rules of the program the MEYS does not realize the evaluation of project results. The project is evaluated only after its approval by an international provider.
