  • Low-temperature spectroscopy of single fluorescent molecules can be of use to study dynamics in the nano-environment around them. Here, Smit et al. show that the fluorescence wavelength of molecules on the surface of hexagonal boron-nitride is particularly sensitive to how clean this surface is.

  • Researchers have demonstrated how photon correlations can be used to explore the spectral diffusion of light from a single quantum dot with subnanosecond time resolution. This will help to clarify the origin of frequency jitter, and thereby help to realize narrowband stable condensed matter sources of single photons.

  • Combining the strong nonlinearity of single-photon emitters with the light-focusing characteristics of metal nanowires could soon enable the realization of a single-photon transistor — a device that would revolutionize the field of quantum optics.

  • Photons don't interact well with each other, which is a real headache for researchers developing all-optical transistors for computing applications. But a single molecule can mediate photon–photon affairs.

  • .Sensitive detection of weak acoustic signals at nanometer scale is challenging. Here, the authors present an acoustic detection system based on a single molecule as a probe, where frequency and amplitude of acoustic vibrations can be extracted from its minute variations in distance to the surface of a plasmonic gold nanorod.
