TLDR
The cavity enables an unprecedented frequency tuning range of the Raman emission that significantly exceeds the spectral inhomogeneity of silicon-vacancy centers in diamond nanostructures and selectively suppresses the phonon-induced spontaneous emission that degrades the efficiency of Raman photon generation.Abstract:
We demonstrate cavity-enhanced Raman emission from a single atomic defect in a solid. Our platform is a single silicon-vacancy center in diamond coupled with a monolithic diamond photonic crystal cavity. The cavity enables an unprecedented frequency tuning range of the Raman emission (100 GHz) that significantly exceeds the spectral inhomogeneity of silicon-vacancy centers in diamond nanostructures. We also show that the cavity selectively suppresses the phonon-induced spontaneous emission that degrades the efficiency of Raman photon generation. Our results pave the way towards photon-mediated many-body interactions between solid-state quantum emitters in a nanophotonic platform.read more

Abstract: Efficient interfaces between photons and quantum emitters form the basis for quantum networks and enable nonlinear optical devices operating at the single-photon level. We demonstrate an integrated platform for scalable quantum nanophotonics based on silicon-vacancy (SiV) color centers coupled to nanoscale diamond devices. By placing SiV centers inside diamond photonic crystal cavities, we realize a quantum-optical switch controlled by a single color center. We control the switch using SiV metastable orbital states and verify optical switching at the single-photon level by using photon correlation measurements. We use Raman transitions to realize a single-photon source with a tunable frequency and bandwidth in a diamond waveguide. Finally, we create entanglement between two SiV centers by detecting indistinguishable Raman photons emitted into a single waveguide. Entanglement is verified using a novel superradiant feature observed in photon correlation measurements, paving the way for the realization of quantum networks.

Reply on H. J. Kimble's comment on "Deterministic single-photon source for distributed quantum networking"
TL;DR: A sequence of single photons is emitted on demand from a single three-level atom strongly coupled to a high-finesse optical cavity, which is essential for quantum communication and networking, and the photons should be appropriate for all-optical quantum information processing.

Advances in quantum metrology
TL;DR: Quantum metrology is the use of quantum techniques such as entanglement to yield higher statistical precision than purely classical approaches as discussed by the authors, where the central limit theorem implies that the reduction is proportional to the square root of the number of repetitions.

Quantum state transfer and entanglement distribution among distant nodes in a quantum network
TL;DR: In this paper, a scheme to utilize photons for ideal quantum transmission between atoms located at spatially separated nodes of a quantum network was proposed, which employs special laser pulses that excite an atom inside an optical cavity at the sending node so that its state is mapped into a time-symmetric photon wave packet that will enter a cavity at receiving node and be absorbed by an atom there with unit probability.
