The lack of effcient solid-state sources of single photons is impeding the further development of many fields including quantum communication, quantum information processing and metrology. Using an InAs quantum dot embedded in a GaAs photonic nanowire with carefully tailored ends, researchers demonstrate a record single-photon source effciency of 0.72 under optical pumping.
