• Single-photon sources (2005, background): “However, there is a dark state, presumably a singlet, responsible for bunching in the correlation function (Kurtsiefer et al 2000, Beveratos et al 2001, Jelezko et al 2002).”
• Creation and nature of optical centres in diamond for single-photon emission—overview and critical remarks (2011, background): “One of the main challenges to be met on the way of practical realization of single-photon informatics is the development of a reliable single-photon source working at room temperature [1]–[4].”
• Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors: physics and applications (2012, background): “Nitrogen vacancy defects in diamond [126] are also attractive”
• Multiphoton entanglement and interferometry (2008, background): “…include quantum dots (Michler et al., 2000b; Santori et al., 2001, 2002; Pelton et al., 2002), nitrogen-vacancy color centers (Brouri et al., 2000; Kurtsiefer et al., 2000), neutral atoms (Kuhn et al., 2002; McKeever et al., 2004; Darquié et al., 2005), ions (Keller et al., 2004), and molecules…”

• Interfacing single photons and single quantum dots with photonic nanostructures (2013, background): “…circuits emitting in the microwave regime (Wallraff et al., 2004) or two-level quantum emitters with optical transitions, e.g., semiconductor quantum dots (Michler et al., 2000), nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond (Kurtsiefer et al., 2000), or single molecules (Lounis and Moerner, 2000).”
• Heralded generation of entangled photon pairs (2010, background): “Other leading technologies in this effort are based on other physical systems including single trapped atoms and atomic ensembles [15], quantum dots [16], or nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond [17].”
