    Abstract: The disclosure is directed to devices, systems, and methods for performing quantum state-mediated microwave-to-optical energy conversion. Such quantum state-mediated energy conversion may be achieved via coherent interactions between an optical excitation and microwave electric field mediated by various quantum states in a defect embedded in a crystalline lattice. Such energy conversion enables coherent electro-optical modulation of optical emission from the defect, microwave-optical transduction, optical detection of microwave, and optical frequency mixing in the optical emission from the defect. The optical emission from the defect maintains and carries quantum coherence in the defect. Such devices and methods may be applied in quantum information processing systems.

    Abstract: This disclosure relates to optical devices for quantum information processing applications. In one example implementation, a semiconductor structure is provided. The semiconductor structure may be embedded with single defects that can be individually addressed. An electric bias and/or one or more optical excitations may be configured to control the single defects in the semiconductor structure to produce single photons for use in quantum information processing. The electric bias and optical excitations are selected and adjusted to control various carrier processes and to reduce environmental charge instability of the single defects to achieve optical emission with wide wavelength tunability and narrow spectral linewidth. Electrically controlled single photon source and other electro-optical devices may be achieved.
