One-photon light sources based on doped diamond nanocrystals.

Nitrogen and silicon associated vacancy defects in diamond are incorporated inside diamond nanocrystals for the production of single-photon light sources with promising perspectives for use in quantum cryptography and quantum computing. The dependence on production method and size of the nanocrystals will be studied, as well as the influence of irradiation and thermal posttreatments, in order to determine the optimal preparation routes.
