Abstract

Quantum emitters (QEs) are essential building blocks for quantum applications, such as quantum communication, quantum computing and metrology. Two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), are promising platforms for scalable QE generation due to their unique properties, including their compatibility with external photonic structures. Advances in defect engineering and strain manipulation enable precise localization of emission sites within these materials, while integration with nanophotonic structures, including cavities and waveguides, enhances photon emission through the Purcell effect. This integration supports quantum functionalities like single-photon routing and spin-photon interactions. Challenges include achieving precise QE placement and emission control, as environmental factors can affect QE purity and indistinguishability. Nonetheless, electrically driven QEs, strain-tunable emission, and the integration of van der Waals magnets present opportunities for compact, scalable quantum devices with on-demand single-photon sources and spin-based quantum memory, positioning 2D QEs as foundational for next-generation quantum devices.

先进量子光子功能的二维量子发射体的确定性生成和纳米光子集成

量子发射体（QEs）是量子通信、量子计算和计量等量子应用的重要组成部分。二维（2D）材料，如过渡金属二硫族化合物（TMDs）和六方氮化硼（hBN），由于其独特的性质，包括与外部光子结构的兼容性，是有前途的可扩展QE生成平台。缺陷工程和应变操作的进步使得这些材料中的发射位点能够精确定位，而与纳米光子结构（包括腔和波导）的集成，通过Purcell效应增强了光子发射。这种集成支持量子功能，如单光子路由和自旋光子相互作用。挑战包括实现精确的QE放置和排放控制，因为环境因素会影响QE的纯度和不可区分性。尽管如此，电驱动量子阱、应变可调发射和范德华磁体的集成为紧凑、可扩展的量子器件提供了机会，这些器件具有按需单光子源和基于自旋的量子存储器，将2D量子阱定位为下一代量子器件的基础。
