Single-photon emitters in 2D materials — •Steffen Michaelis de Vasconcellos — University of Münster, Institute of Physics and Center for Nanotechnology, Wilhelm-Klemm-Str. 10, 48149 Münster, Germany

Single-photon sources are key components for quantum technologies, such as communications, cryptography, computation, and metrology. Recently, the family of solid-state quantum light emitters was joined by single-photon sources in atomically thin materials [1]. Compared to 3D bulk materials, the 2D host crystals with their high structural flexibility allow for a high photon extraction efficiency, new methods for the deterministic creation, and convenient integration with photonic circuits.

In this tutorial, I will introduce the basic properties of single-photon emitters in different 2D van der Waals material systems and discuss present experimental methods for their creation, control, and coupling to photonic nanostructures.
