Zusammenfassung / Abstract

Nowadays, methods of single molecule spectroscopy are commonly applied to visualize and manipulate single quantum systems of different kinds, e.g. semiconductor quantum dots or single color centers in crystals. The potential applications of these single emitters range from nanoscale magnetic field sensing to quantum information processing (QIP). In this work, three types of single emitters are studied under cryogenic conditions with respect to potential applications in QIP: dibenzantanthrene organic molecules in n-tetradecane Shpol'sky matrices, nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamonds, and trivalent cerium ions in YAG crystals.
