Abstract :
Single organic molecules allow for the generation of high-flux single photons. At cryogenic conditions, these photons can be as narrow as a few MHz. It is possible to find suitable molecules matching to a variety of atomic transitions, allowing for quantum hybrid systems of atoms and molecules.
