Individual erbium emitters are a promising hardware platform for quantum networks as their coherent optical transitions exhibit low loss in optical fibers. Using silicon as a host crystal for erbium allows for scalable fabrication using established processes of the semiconductor industry [1]. To address single dopants, we integrate them into nanophotonic resonators with high Q∼ 105 and small V ∼ λ3, thus reducing their lifetime by more than a factor of 60 via the Purcell effect [2]. We then optically initialize the spin, implement high-fidelity optical single-shot readout and realize coherent control of the spin with microwaves [3]. These advances constitute a major step towards quantum information processing with Er:Si. We will further present our measurements of the coherence of photons emitted by individual dopants, which paves the way towards the generation of remote entanglement.
