Abstract
A photon emitter includes a multi-layer film. The multi-layer film includes a first material layer and a second material layer, and the multi-layer film includes an interface surface between the first and second material layers. The first material layer includes silicon nitride. The multi-layer film is formed by positioning the silicon nitride over the second material layer and energetically activating the combination of the first material layer and the second material layer. The interface surface is operable to emit single photons.
