Abstract: We present an in-situ counted ion implantation experiment reducing the error on the ion number to 5 % enabling the fabrication of high-yield single photon emitter devices in wide bandgap semiconductors for quantum applications. Typical focused ion beam implantation relies on knowing the beam current and setting a pulse length of the ion pulse to define the number of ions implanted at each location, referred to as timed implantation in this paper. This process is dominated by Poisson statistics resulting in large errors for low number of implanted ions. Instead, we use in-situ detection to measure the number of ions arriving at the substrate resulting in a two-fold reduction in the error on the number of implanted ions used to generate a single optically active silicon vacancy (SiV) defect in diamond compared to timed implantation. Additionally, through post-implantation analysis, we can further reduce the error resulting in a seven-fold improvement compared to timed implantation, allowing us to better estimate the conversion yield of implanted Si to SiV. We detect SiV emitters by photoluminescence spectroscopy, determine the number of emitters per location and calculate the yield to be 2.98 + 0.21 / - 0.24 %. Candidates for single photon emitters are investigated further by Hanbury-Brown-Twiss interferometry confirming that 82 % of the locations exhibit single photon emission statistics. This counted ion implantation technique paves the way towards deterministic creation of SiV when ion counting is used in combination with methods that improve the activation yield of SiV.

Robust single divacancy defects near stacking faults in 4H-SiC under resonant excitation [11.870772746298043]
We present a protocol for the scalable and targeted fabrication of single divacancies in 4H-SiC using a high-resolution focused helium ion beam. By measuring the ionization rate for different polytypes of divacancies, we found that the divacancies within stacking faults are more robust against resonant excitation. These findings highlight the immense potential of SiC divacancies for on-chip quantum photonics and the construction of efficient spin-to-photon interfaces.

Quantum Emitters in Aluminum Nitride Induced by Zirconium Ion Implantation [70.64959705888512]
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.

We aim at a laser ablation loading of single triply ionized thorium in a radio-frequency electromagnetic linear Paul trap. We successfully created and detected 232Th+ and 232Th2+ ions from plasma plumes, studied their yield evolution, and compared the loading to a quadrupole ion trap with Yb. The thorium ablation yield shows a strong depletion, suggesting that we have ablated oxide layers from the surface and the ions were a result of the plasma plume evolution and collisions.
