• Abstract: The controlled creation of quantum emitters in diamond represents a major research effort in the fabrication of single-photon devices. Here, we present the scalable production of silicon-vacancy (SiV) color centers in single-crystal diamond by ion implantation. The lateral position of the SiV is spatially controlled by a 1-$\mu$m pinhole placed in front of the sample, which can be moved nanometer precise using a piezo stage. The initial implantation position is controlled by monitoring the ion beam position with a camera. Hereby, silicon ions are implanted at the desired spots in an area comparable to the diffraction limit. We discuss the role of ions scattered by the pinhole and the activation yield of the SiV color centers for the creation of single quantum emitters.

  This study investigates aluminum nitride (AlN) as a material with properties highly suitable for integrated on-chip photonics. We conduct a comprehensive study of the creation and photophysical properties of single-photon emitters in AlN utilizing Zirconium (Zr) and Krypton (Kr) heavy ion implantation. With the 532 nm excitation wavelength, we found that single-photon emitters induced by ion implantation are primarily associated with vacancy-type defects in the AlN lattice for both Zr and Kr ions.

  The need of near-surface color centers in diamond for quantum technologies motivates the controlled doping of specific extrinsic impurities into the crystal lattice. Recent experiments have shown that this can be achieved by momentum transfer from a surface precursor via ion implantation. We extend this technique to incorporate precursors for creating nitrogen-vacancy (NV) and silicon-vacancy (SiV) centers in diamond.

  Most demanding application for a large-scale quantum computer will require ordered arrays. By configuring an electronic-grade diamond substrate with a biased surface graphene electrode connected to charge-sensitive electronics, it is possible to demonstrate single ion implantation for ions stopping between 30 and 130nm deep from a typical ion source. This allows the construction of ordered arrays of single atoms with associated colour centres that paves the way for the fabrication of deterministic colour center networks in a monolithic device.
