2D-material based quantum emitters for future quantum information technologies

Abstract

The search for an ideal single-photon source has generated significant interest in discovering novel emitters in materials. Quantum emitters in atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) materials have proven very attractive with high brightness, operation under ambient conditions, and the ability to be integrated with a wide range of electronic and photonic platforms. This poster highlights some of the recent advances in quantum light generation from 2D materials, focusing on transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Efforts in engineering and deterministically creating arrays of quantum emitters in 2D TMDs are discussed. Lastly, we address some of the challenges the field is facing and the near-term efforts to tackle them. We provide an outlook towards efficient and scalable quantum light generation from 2D materials towards controllable and addressable on-chip quantum sources
