1. A method for producing a single photon source, comprising:
(a) functionalizing a top surface of a plasmonic thin film to form a functionalized thin film;
(b) depositing a polymer on top of the functionalized thin film;
(c) lithographically patterning the polymer to form patterned functionalized sites; and
(d) targeting nanodiamond particles to the patterned functionalized sites.
