They could prove extremely useful for integrated quantum information processing. Here we demonstrate on-chip electrical detection of single plasmons propagating along gold waveguides. The plasmons are excited using the single-photon emission of an optically emitting quantum dot. After propagating for several micrometers, the plasmons are coupled to a superconducting detector in the near-field. Correlation measurements prove that single plasmons are being detected.", optnote="exported from refbase (https://db.rplab.ru/refbase/show.php?record=620), last updated on Thu, 01 Mar 2012 13:43:29 -0600", doi="10.1021/nl903761t", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1021/nl903761t" }
