Spin-controlled generation of indistinguishable and distinguishable photons from silicon vacancy centres in silicon carbide

Spin-controlled generation of indistinguishable and distinguishable photons from silicon vacancy centres in silicon carbide

Defects in silicon carbide can act as single photon sources that also have the benefit of a host material that is already used in electronic devices. Here the authors demonstrate that they can control the distinguishability of the emitted photons by changing the defect spin state.
