| Oct 23, 2017 at 8:41 | comment | added | Selene Routley | You might find this question and answer thread relevant. My answer to it explains how one can build a "triggered one photon source" (what Arnold Neumaier's answer calls an "on demand source") using diamond nanowire waveguides and carefully controlled lattice disruption centers. You can verify this idea using the technique in Luc's answer. The experimental program I belonged to and cited in my linked answer has now ended owing to ..... | |
| Oct 23, 2017 at 8:26 | comment | added | physicopath | if I recall correctly, in one of his talks that I have attended, Serge Haroche, 2012 Nobel prize winner said that they create single photons in the lab, see their nobel prize text nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/2012/… | |

| Aug 8, 2017 at 15:48 | comment | added | DanielSank | I'm talking about a metallic microwave resonator. This resonator supports quantized number of excitations at a particular frequency. We do call these "photons" even though they are oscillations of charge rather than a chargeless electromagnetic field. | |
| Aug 8, 2017 at 15:43 | comment | added | Solidification | @DanielSank Photon is a charge? Do you mean photon produced from a charge oscillating in the microwave frequency range? But how would you make sure that you are producing single photon? | |
| Aug 8, 2017 at 15:23 | comment | added | DanielSank | Would it count, in your opinion, if the photon were a microwave frequency charge oscillating in a metal? | |
