Abstract

Integrating quantum optics with silicon would substantially benefit from the extensive advancements made in manufacturing classical electronic and optical components. We present the first all-silicon quantum light source by embedding a single silicon-based defect within a silicon nanophotonic cavity. We have observed a 30-fold enhancement of luminescence, achieving near-unity atom-cavity coupling efficiency and an 8-fold acceleration of emission from the all-silicon quantum emissive center. These findings pave the way for large-scale integrated cavity quantum electrodynamics and quantum light-matter interfaces.
