Solid-state quantum emitters – often referred to as artificial atoms – are building blocks for emergent photonic quantum technologies. Over recent years, these systems have emerged as a high quality and bright sources of single and indistinguishable photons, properties which make them ideally suited for photonic quantum technologies.

This lecture aims to give a comprehensive overview on the most important types of quantum emitters, semiconductor quantum dots and defect center, their fundamental photophysical and quantum optical properties, and their integration into quantum circuits and devices.

The class covers to main areas:

1.            Basic properties and fabrication of quantum dots and defect quantum emitters

2.            Quantum optical properties of quantum emitters (single photon emission, indistinguishable photons)

3.            Light-matter interaction (Rabi oscillations, dressed states, coherent control)

4.            Device integration of quantum emitters
