- Abstract: We present a surface passivation method that reduces surface-related losses
by almost two orders of magnitude in a highly miniaturized GaAs open
microcavity. The microcavity consists of a curved dielectric distributed Bragg
reflector (DBR) with radius $\sim 10$ $\mu$m paired with a GaAs-based
heterostructure. The heterostructure consists of a semiconductor DBR followed
by an n-i-p diode with a layer of quantum dots in the intrinsic region.
Free-carrier absorption in the highly doped n- and p-layers is minimized by
positioning them close to a node of the vacuum electromagnetic-field. The
surface, however, resides at an anti-node of the vacuum field and results in
significant loss. These losses are much reduced by surface passivation. The
strong dependence on wavelength implies that the main effect of the surface
passivation is to eliminate the surface electric field, thereby quenching
below-bandgap absorption via a Franz-Keldysh-like effect. An additional benefit
is that the surface passivation reduces scattering at the GaAs surface. These
results are important in other nano-photonic devices which rely on a
GaAs-vacuum interface to confine the electromagnetic field.

Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) single photon emitters offer numerous advantages to quantum information applications.
Traditional materials used for the fabrication of nanoresonators, such as silicon or gallium phosphide (GaP), often require a high refractive index substrate.
Here, we use nanoantennas (NAs) fabricated from multilayer TMDs, which allow complete flexibility with the choice of substrate.

Internal quality factors of superconducting resonators made of granular aluminum can be improved by coating them with micrometric films of para-hydrogen molecular crystals.
We attribute the average measured dissipation to absorption of stray terahertz radiation at the crystal-resonator interface.
The hydrogen crystal does not introduce additional losses, which is promising for embedding impurities to couple to superconducting thin-film devices in hybrid quantum architectures.

The magnetic field changes the lineshape of the intersubband optical transition due to the roughness of the interface of the quantum well from a Lorentzian to a Gaussian one.
