- An essential requirement of optical quantum computing is the availability of a highly coherent on-chip single-photon source. Prior to this work, only optically driven sources had been achieved. Here, we present an on-demand electrically driven quantum emitter based on InAs quantum dot, which is monolithically integrated with nano-photonic circuitry. To achieve that, a challenge of electrically isolating the dot from the rest of the circuitry has been successfully overcome. This proof-of-concept device underpins the scale up to multiple on-chip single-photon sources, readily coupled to photonic networks used for quantum computing.
