Several challenges face room-temperature quantum emitters such as nanocrystal quantum dots and color centers including low photon extraction efficiency, low emission rates and relatively low single photon purities. In this talk I will review our efforts in overcoming these technical difficulties using several complementary methods including designing several nanoantenna devices that enhance the directionality and emission rate of the nanoemitter approaching record high collection efficiencies. In addition, we developed several temporal heralding techniques to overcome the hurdle of low single photon purity in nanocrystal quantum dots in an effort to produce highly pure, bright and efficient single photon sources on-chip.
