«By chemically modifying the nanotube surface to controllably introduce light -
emitting defects, we have developed carbon nanotubes as a single
photon source, working
toward implementing defect - state quantum emitters operating at room temperature and demonstrating their function in technologically useful wavelengths,» said Stephen Doorn, leader of the project at Los Alamos and a member of the Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies (CINT).
