Over the past ten years, on-demand single photon generation has
been realized in numerous physical systems including neutral atoms,
ions, molecules, semiconductor quantum dots, impurities and defects
in solids, and superconductor circuits. The motivations for
generation and detection of single photons are two-fold: basic and
applied science. On the one hand, a single photon plays a central
role in the experimental foundation of quantum mechanics and
measurement theory. On the other hand, an efficient and
high-quality single-photon source is needed to implement quantum
key distribution, quantum repeaters and photonic quantum
information processing.
Written by top authors from academia and industry, this is the only
textbook focused on single-photon devices and thus fills the gap
for a readily accessible update on the rapid progress in the field.
