"This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)." Objective:The objective of the proposed research is to develop solid-state devicesfor achieving controlled and efficient coupling between single photons andsingle electrons confined in microstructures.Intellectual Merit:The intellectual merit is the ability to efficiently transfer informationbetween the quantum state of an electron spin and the polarization stateof a photon. This allows for unprecedented studies of electron spindynamics using quantum optical measurements. The research team has therequired material-growth, device-fabrication, and quantum-optics skillsand resources to perform this challenging project. To complement theresearch, the team will collaborate with the Allosphere, which is avirtual reality research center at UCSB, and with local high schools (witha predominantly Hispanic student population) to provide high-schoolstudents with an unforgettable science experience.Broader Impacts:The broader impacts of this effort are the direct relevance to the microoptoelectronics industry (the research is based on cutting-edgetechnologies and materials from that industry), the importance forfundamental studies in confined electron and hole properties insemiconductor, and the outstanding training of PhD students in Engineeringand Physics. Furthermore the ability to establish a one-to-one relationbetween an electron, the ultimate representation of a locally stored bitof information, and a photon, the ultimate representation of a flyingbit of information, would potentially have a tremendous impact onultra-low-energy consuming classical and quantum communication andcomputation systems. Finally, high-school students will be inspired tofollow a career in science.

“这项奖励是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。”目的：提出的研究目标是开发固态器件，以实现限制在微观结构中的单光子和单电子之间的受控和有效耦合。智力优势：智力优势是在电子自旋的量子态和光子的偏振态之间有效传递信息的能力。这使得利用量子光学测量对电子自旋动力学进行前所未有的研究成为可能。研究团队需要材料生长、设备制造和量子光学技术和资源来执行这个具有挑战性的项目。为了补充研究，该团队将与UCSB的虚拟现实研究中心Allosphere以及当地高中（主要是西班牙裔学生）合作，为高中生提供难忘的科学体验。更广泛的影响：这项工作的更广泛的影响是与微电子工业直接相关（该研究基于该行业的尖端技术和材料），对半导体中受限电子和空穴特性的基础研究的重要性，以及对工程和物理学博士生的杰出培训。此外，在电子（本地存储位信息的最终表示）和光子（飞行位信息的最终表示）之间建立一对一关系的能力，将潜在地对超低能耗的经典和量子通信和计算系统产生巨大影响。最后，高中生将受到启发，从事科学事业。
