1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Solid-state quantum emitters (QE) can produce single photons required for quantum information processing. However, their emission properties often exhibit poor directivity and polarisation definition resulting in considerable loss of generated photons. Here we propose and numerically evaluate Mie metasurface designs for outcoupling photons from an embedded and randomly-positioned QE. These Mie metasurface designs can provide over one order of magnitude enhancement in photon outcoupling with only several percent of photons being lost. Importantly, the Mie metasurfaces provide the enhancement in photon outcoupling without the need for strict QE position alignment and without affecting the intrinsic QE emission rate (Purcell enhancement). Electric dipole modes are key for achieving the enhancement and they offer a path for selective outcoupling for photons emitted with specific polarisation, including the out-of-plane polarisation. Mie metasurfaces can provide an efficient, polarisation-selective and scalable platform for QEs.
