Paper Abstract
Many schemes for optical quantum computation and long-distance quantum communication require quantum
interference between indistinguishable single-photon states generated from large numbers of independent sources. Solidstate
systems allow integration of such sources on a chip. It is therefore desirable to achieve multiple solid-state singlephoton
sources for practical applications. We show a promising candidate for this in the single photons generated by the
radiative decay processes of excitons that are bound to isolated fluorine donor impurities in ZnSe/ZnMgSe quantum well
nanostructures. Donor-bound-exciton single-photon sources typically have a narrow distribution of center wavelengths,
and they overcome dipole dephasing due to their fast radiative decay time. The emitter we introduce here demonstrates
these advantages, showing strong potential for allowing quantum interference between single photons emitted by
independent solid-state single-photon sources.
