SINGLE PHOTON NANOCELL SOURCE AND IDENTICAL PHOTON SOURCE Russian patent published in 2024 - IPC H01L29/78 B82B3/00 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to information technology devices and methods and can be used to develop photonic computers and in information communication systems. Single photon nanocell source contains a quantum-size nanocrystal of a narrow-gap semiconductor, for example indium antimonide, placed in an interelectrode nanogap with size of 5-15 nm. Conduction electrons are supplied to the nanocrystal from a conducting contact with negative polarity by field emission into the nanogap and subsequent injection. Electronic states are caused by single-electron transport in the nanocrystal as a deep extended quantum well with physical processes of quantum conductivity and oscillations and normalization of the quantum resonance state by the formula V~0.37q²(a_n²m/m₀)^-1, where: V is the electron energy (in electron volts), 0.37 is the calculated coefficient, which also takes into account the proportionality of the measurement units, q is the quantum number, a_n is the size of the nanocrystal (in nanometers), m/m₀ is the ratio of the effective mass of the electron in the semiconductor to its "rest" mass.

EFFECT: formation of identical photons.
