ANALYSIS OF SINGLE PHOTON SOURCES WITH QUANTUM KEY DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTSстатья из журнала
Аннотация: Introduction: The analysis of the main directions of research in the field of creating sources of single photons for communication systems with quantum key distribution is carried out. Scientometric analysis based on Scopus database is used to identify the most promising areas and predict the trends in the field of single photon sources. Methods of single photon sources development and their applications in commercial communication systems with quantum key distribution is shown. At the time single photons sources based on quantum dots are the most developed and presented on the market. However, color centers in nanocrystals and carbon nanotubes are intensively studied. The prospects of creating compact and easy-to-use sources of single photons on telecommunication wavelengths is analyzed. There are many ways of realization of single photon sources design. Significant funding in China and Germany leads to notable growth of the technology. It was detected the main journals, author groups and organizations working in direction of single photon sources. Methods and Results: The research field of communication systems using sources of single photons is growing. It is available single photon sources on quantum dots and crystals. Applying of carbon nanotubes is promising for this problem according to some famous authors. It is revealed significant overlap of the research areas: single photon sources, quantum random number generators and quantum key distribution. At the time fundamental studies are implemented in technical devices with high potential for commercial applications.
