It combines the necessary theoretical background with crucial experimental methods and characterisations to form a complete handbook for readers at all academic levels. The future implementation of large quantum networks will require the hybridisation of photonic qubits for communication with quantum memories in the context of information storage. Such an interface requires carefully tailored single photons to ensure compatibility with the chosen memory. The source itself is remarkable for a number of reasons, including being the spectrally narrowest and brightest source of its kind; in addition, it offers a novel technique for frequency stabilisation in an optical cavity, together with exceptional portability. Starting with a thorough analysis of the current literature, this book derives the essential parameters needed to design the source, describes its individual components in detail, and closes with the characterisation of a single photon source.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053LasersPhotonicsQuantum computersSpintronicsQuantum physicsOptics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Deviceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31030Quantum Information Technology, Spintronicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31070Quantum Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080Lasers.Photonics.Quantum computers.Spintronics.Quantum physics.Optics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices.Quantum Information Technology, Spintronics.Quantum Physics.621.382Rambach Markusauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1060191BOOK9910300161503321Narrowband Single Photons for Light-Matter Interfaces2511818UNINA
