Single photon sources play a critical role in many emerging applications in quantum information science. Single photon quantum computing [1], and single photon quantum cryptography [2] both rely heavily on high-brightness, and high-indistinguishability single photon sources where subsequent single photons are identical in all degrees of freedom. In order to maximize indistinguishability, the...
High quality, uniform thin films of quantum materials are of extreme importance across many classes of device research. Minimizing energy consumption, while keeping flexibility in the deposition process, along with high structural stability, electrical and thermal conductivity, and optical transparency is critical in designing a reactor for quantum material thin film growth. Ultra-thin films...
Thermal transport in low-dimensional systems such as nanowires is interesting for applications involving system design at the nanoscale, but the effects of changes like the shape of a nanowire are not completely understood. In this work the behaviour of the thermal conductance of nanowires is investigated by introducing a single kink into an otherwise straight nanowire. The angle of this kink...
