DESCRIPTION:TOWARDS AN ON-DEMAND\, ALL-ELECTRICAL SINGLE-PHOTON SOURCE\n\nR
 esearch Advancement Center\, 485 Wes Graham Way\, Room 2009 Waterloo\,\nON
  N2L 6R2\n\nSingle-photon sources (SPSs) are an elementary building block 
 for\nquantum technologies. An ideal SPS is deterministic\, on-demand and\n
 produces exactly one photon per pulse. Additionally\, desirable\nfeatures 
 include a high repetition rate\, an all-electrical driving\nmechanism and 
 compatibility with semiconductor manufacturing\ntechniques. Despite great 
 advances in the field of single photon\nemitters\, an SPS with all the fea
 tures outlined above remains elusive.\nIn this talk\, we will present our 
 proposed SPS\, consisting of a\nsingle-electron pump integrated in proximi
 ty to a lateral PN-junction\,\nwhich would allow our SPS to meet all the c
 riteria listed above. We\ndiscuss progress towards our goal\, and also dis
 cuss an unconventional\nelectroluminescence mechanism observed during rece
 nt experiments.
