Abstract
This work demonstrates an indistinguishable photon source in silicon photonics based on an artificial atom (a G center in a silicon waveguide). The G center generates high-purity telecom-band single photons, and the indistinguishability of these photons is experimentally proven. This achievement highlights the potential of silicon photonics for photonic quantum networks and processors.
