We discuss theoretical and experimental results on the ultrafast detection of quantum emitters. We employ nano-antennas, specifically gold nanocones, to accelerate the spontaneous emission rate of silicon-vacancy color centers in diamond by orders of magnitude to generate single photons with picoseconds timescales. Moreover, we implement an optical Kerr shutter under tight focusing to be able to detect such ultrafast single photons with time resolutions down to a few hundreds of femtoseconds.
