  • Method for generating a single photon for quantum information processing
    Patent number: 9671672
    Abstract: A solid-state device for generating a single photon for quantum information processing, the device including: a quantum dot molecule including: a first singly-charged quantum dot; and a second singly-charged quantum dot; wherein the first singly-charged quantum dot is adjacent to the second singly-charged quantum dot; and a tunnel barrier that separates the first singly-charged quantum dot from the second singly-charged quantum dot.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 20, 2017
    Date of Patent: June 6, 2017
    Assignee: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of the Navy
    Inventors: Daniel Gammon, Samuel Carter, Allan S. Bracker, Patrick Vora
