Solid-state based quantum computing relies on artificial atoms, often realized through embedding impurity atoms in an otherwise clean crystal environment. While incorporation of atoms during crystal growth can give rise to high-quality photon emitters, the lack of positional control makes scaling of this approach exceptionally difficult. Through the use of focused ion beam implantation, positional accuracy <(50 nm)3 can be achieved, sufficient for integration of emitters into photonic nanostructures. Tuning of the optical properties of emitters is achieved by adapting the ion species to the application. Current challenges in the field lie in the typically low ratio of optically active emitters to implanted ions preventing fully deterministic creation of emitters, as well as mitigation of damage introduced during the ion implantation.

This special symposium focuses on applications in solid state quantum optics realized using focused ion beam implantation and explores pathways of improving emitter yield and damage mitigation strategies.
