Abstract
The ultimate quantum control of the photon generation process could only be achieved when single photons are generated at arbitrarily short time intervals, with a deterministic dwell-time between the successive photon generation events. The result would be heralded single-photon states with complete information about the generation times of individual photons. Such a nonclassical optical source could open up a new field of single photonics, where the electrical-to-optical information transfer takes place at the lowest possible energy limit.
