Abstract
A single-photon source includes a substrate of a wide-bandgap semiconductor provided with a light-emission region including only one target point detect, a cover mask arranged on a main surface of the substrate and having an opening to which the light-emission region in the substrate is exposed, and an excitation system configured to shift an electron in a defect-ground state to an excited state at the point defect in the light-emission region. A single photon released from the point defect in the light-emission region when the electron in the excited state is shifted to the ground state is output through the opening in the cover mask.
