Multiplexed Single-Photon Source Based on Multiple Quantum Dots Embedded within a Single Nanowire
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Photonics-based quantum information technologies require efficient, high emission rate sources of single photons. Position-controlled quantum dots embedded within a broadband nanowire waveguide provide a fully scalable route to fabricating highly efficient single-photon sources. However, emission rates for single-photon devices are limited by radiative recombination lifetimes. Here, we demonstrate a multiplexed single-photon source based on a multidot nanowire. Using epitaxially grown nanowires, we incorporate multiple energy-tuned dots, each optimally positioned within the nanowire waveguide, providing single photons with high efficiency. This linear scaling of the single-photon emission rate with number of emitters is demonstrated using a five-dot nanowire with an average multiphoton emission probability of <4% when excited at saturation. This represents the first ever demonstration of multiple single-photon emitters deterministically incorporated in a single photonic device and is a major step toward achieving GHz single-photon emission rates from a scalable multi-quantum-dot system.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
