We describe a coherent undergraduate educational program in nanoscience and nanoengineering at the University of Rochester (UR) based on the Institute of Optics and Integrated Nanosystems Center resources. This project has three main outcomes: (1) developing a curriculum and offering the Certificate in Nanoscience and Nanoengineering (CNSNE); (2) creating an exemplary model of collaboration in nanotechnology between a university with state-of-the-art, expensive experimental facilities and a nearby two-year community college (CC) with the participation of the local Monroe Community College (MCC); and (3) developing universally accessible "hands-on" experiments (mini-labs) on nanophotonics/quantum nanophotonics, learning materials, and pedagogical methods to be introduced in some Institute of Optics classes from freshman to senior levels. The inexpensive mini-labs described herein can be adopted in small colleges. An important outcome of this project is that ∼50% of the 41 awardees of the CNSNE (by May 2021) after graduation continued their career in the field of nanoscience and nanoengineering. For the CNSNE program, UR students must take three courses: Nanometrology Laboratory (a new course specifically created for this program) and two other selective courses. Students should also conduct a one-semester research or design project in the fields of nanoscience and nanoengineering. A total of 52 MCC students (including non-science, technology, engineering, and mathematics major students) participated in two labs at the UR on atomic force microscopy and photolithography in a clean room. Our teaching methodology, the progress of students' learning outcomes, and the investigation of students' attitudes and self-efficacy toward selecting their careers in nanoscience/nanotechnology are also discussed and analyzed. Discussions on the challenges in teaching advanced lab classes during the pandemic, our solutions for preserving the CNSNE program, and lessons learned are also included. © 2022 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE)

“…Room-temperature single (antibunched) photon sources (SPSs) based on single-emitter fluorescence in photonic/plasmonic nanostructures are very important for long-distance secure quantum communication. From all known nanostructures plasmonic nanoantennas provide both the highest reported emission rate enhancements and the highest photon flux increase from single emitters [1][2][3][4][5][6]. From all types of plasmonic nanoantennas the highest Purcell factor with increasing emitter radiative decay rate (~1,000 times), see, e.g., [2], and 2,300-fold enhancement in the total fluorescence intensity [3] were obtained with metal plasmonic patch (gap) nanoantennas.…”

“…Remarkable progress has been achieved with deterministic solid-state single-photon sources 1 – 7 . However, these sources require cryogenic temperatures to allow efficient photon interference 1 , 2 , 8 . Ultracold atoms, which has been another system of choice 9 – 13 , offer excellent performance at the expense of complexity of the experimental apparatus.…”

Room-temperature single-photon source with near-millisecond built-in memory

Non-classical photon sources are a crucial resource for distributed quantum networks. Photons generated from matter systems with memory capability are particularly promising, as they can be integrated into a network where each source is used on-demand. Among all kinds of solid state and atomic quantum memories, room-temperature atomic vapours are especially attractive due to their robustness and potential scalability. To-date room-temperature photon sources have been limited either in their memory time or the purity of the photonic state. Here we demonstrate a single-photon source based on room-temperature memory. Following heralded loading of the memory, a single photon is retrieved from it after a variable storage time. The single-photon character of the retrieved field is validated by the strong suppression of the two-photon component with antibunching as low as $${g}_{{\rm{RR| W = 1}}}^{(2)}=0.20\pm 0.07$$ g RR∣W=1 ( 2 ) = 0.20 ± 0.07 . Non-classical correlations between the heralding and the retrieved photons are maintained for up to $${\tau }_{{\rm{NC}}}^{{\mathcal{R}}}=(0.68\pm 0.08)\ {\rm{ms}}$$ τ NC R = ( 0.68 ± 0.08 ) ms , more than two orders of magnitude longer than previously demonstrated with other room-temperature systems. Correlations sufficient for violating Bell inequalities exist for up to τBI = (0.15 ± 0.03) ms.
