Research by Dr Ruth Oulton from the Centre for Quantum Photonics has been published in “Nature Nanotechnology” journal on 5^th of March 2014:

“Quantum dots: Electrifying cavities - A design that allows electrical contacts to be created on semiconductor microphotonic structures brings quantum networks based on semiconductor single photon sources one step closer."

Over the past decade, cutting-edge QD physics has progressed in tandem with QD cavity fabrication techniques. High-quality fabrication of individual devices is now becoming standard. Arrays of identical devices are a vital next step for a compact and scalable quantum technology.
