Diamond-based single-photon emitters (2011, background): “Controllable generation of indistinguishable photons is one of the major tasks for the realization of optical quantum algorithm schemes and it is at the heart of linear optical quantum computation [209–211].”
Quantum dot Rabi rotations beyond the weak exciton–phonon coupling regime (2010, background): “This has lead to demonstrations of fundamentally quantum mechanical effects, such as laser-driven excitonic Rabi rotations [6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16] and two-photon interference in QD emission [17, 18, 19, 20].”
Quantum key distribution over a 40-dB channel loss using superconducting single-photon detectors (2007, methodology): “The maximum channel loss of the DPS-QKD system is larger than that of the BB84 system using a single photon source with 5 ) 2 ( 10 ) 0 ( − = g and an efficiency 1 = η , which is far beyond the current experimental reach [12-14].”

Frequency-domain Hong–Ou–Mandel interference (2016, background): “So far many elemental properties of quantum physics and information[2] have been discovered through the concatenated HOM effects, which has been demonstrated in photons [1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8] and recently in plasmons[9, 10], atoms[11] and phonons[12].”
A Single-Photon Server with Just One Atom (2007, background): “Such photons have so far only been produced with quantum dot”
Vacuum Rabi splitting with a single quantum dot in a photonic crystal nanocavity (2004, background): “The transitions of a SQD can be separated enough for the lowest transition to exhibit anti-bunching, and cavity enhanced spontaneous emission can lead to one photon on demand into a desired mod”
Single-photon sources (2005, background): “Two emitted photons separated by a time interval longer than the spectral diffusion time will be distinguishable in principle, because their frequencies will differ and they will not interfere (Santori et al 2002).”
