Diamond quantum emitter decoupled from vibrations may be a gamechanger
A newly discovered type of diamond color center has a desirable quirk: It couples to a single, stable local vibration that shows potential to be controlled.

Illustration of the telecom single-photon device. A resonant pulsed laser (top left) excites a single quantum dot embedded within a photonic-crystal waveguide, and the dot emits telecom-wavelength photons one at a time into the on-chip circuit. Gold contacts apply the bias that stabilizes the dot's charge environment.
