“…In terms of physical systems, solid-state platforms of different kinds are routinely exploited and provide key components in quantum photonics, from non-classical light sources [6,15,16], to quantum-circuits [17,18], -sensors [19], -memories [20] and detectors [21], everything potentially miniaturized in integrated optical chips [12,17,[22][23][24][25]. However, the interaction of the electromagnetic field with the host material, and of the different physical elements within it, strongly affects the quality of such quantum resources.…”
