Description
Photons have long been favored as carriers of information due to their non-interacting nature. Tradition- ally, atoms have served as the primary means to manipulate and process quantum information carried by photonic qubits. However, recent groundbreaking advancements in solid-state emitters such as color centers, quantum dots, and molecules have ushered in a new era of highly coherent interaction with light, akin to atomic-level interactions. Moreover, the seamless integration of solid-state emitters into nanophotonic structures has unlocked the potential for achieving remarkably efficient light-matter interactions [1]. Amongst them, nanofibers have attracted attention due to their guided evanescent field that enables efficient coupling of emitters placed at their vicinity. This breakthrough not only facilitates the creation of high-performance single- photon sources but also enables the exciting prospect of photon-photon interactions[2]. Within the nanophotonic research team at LKB, we have cultivated expertise in the production of nanofiber waveguides and their precise coupling with solid-state emitters [3, 4]. This specialized focus empowers us to drive advances in single-photon quantum information processing
