Improving single-photon sources is critical in advancing the state of the art in photonic quantum technologies for information processing and communications.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053Quantum opticsLasersPhotonicsOptical materialsElectronic materialsQuantum Opticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24050Optics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Deviceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31030Optical and Electronic Materialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z12000Quantum optics.Lasers.Photonics.Optical materials.Electronic materials.Quantum Optics.Optics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices.Optical and Electronic Materials.006.3843Francis-Jones Robert J.Aauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut888456MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910254602003321Active Multiplexing of Spectrally Engineered Heralded Single Photons in an Integrated Fibre Architecture1984725UNINA
