Micro-optics-based beam shaping interfaces for single photon sources

Applications such as quantum computing or quantum sensing, have the potential to revolutionize many industries and pave the way for a new era of groundbreaking capabilities across various important fields such as medicine and material-science. To scale these applications up to the point where they can address real-world industry relevant problems, the development of high-efficiency photon extraction and coupling interfaces is crucial. In this work, we explore the use of micro-optical beam shaping interfaces to facilitate the extraction of light from points emitters which are fundamental unit blocks for many of these quantum technology applications.
