主讲人简介: Dr. Sven Höfling received his diploma degree in Applied Physics from the University of Applied Science in Coburg and his Ph.D. degree from Würzburg University. He was with the Fraunhofer Institute of Applied Solid-State Physics, Freiburg, Germany from 2001 to 2002 working on blue and white light emitting diodes. In 2003, he joint Würzburg University for his Ph.D. work on single mode emitting GaAs/AlGaAs quantum cascade lasers. From 2006 to 2013, he was head of the Optoelectronic Materials and Devices Group at Technische Physik, Würzburg University. Sven Höfling was a full professor at the University of St Andrews, Scotland from 2013 to 2021. In 2015 he rejoint the University of Würzburg, Germany as a professor of physics and as the Head of the Chair of Applied Physics and the Gottfried-Landwehr-Laboratory for Nanotechnologies. Dr. Höfling is a member of German Physical Society (DPG), a Senior member of IEEE and SPIE, and a fellow of the Institute of Physics (IOP) and Optica.

As high-performant sources of single photons, epitaxial quantum dots can be considered as a semiconductor launchpad for quantum photonic technologies. There is still a variety of challenges to tackle on the road to an ideal source of single or entangled photons for quantum photonic applications. Here, we present an overview of recent developments in our group on the engineering of single-photon sources for quantum photonic applications made from III-V semiconductor quantum dots grown by molecular beam epitaxy.
