Designing quantum systems with radiative centers in two-dimensional materials.
Abstract
The project entitled “Designing quantum systems with radiative centers in two-dimensional materials” is devoted to engineering crystal structure in atomic scale. Through controlled doping or removal of individual atoms, we will create centers which act as individual light emitters characterized by predetermined optical properties. Particularly, these emitters, located within atomically thin layers of semiconducting and/or insulating two-dimensional materials, will be capable of emitting single or a few photons on demand at a given time. The electronic states, arising due to our optically active centres in the crystal lattice, will be occupied by charge carries, whose spin properties are governed by the laws of quantum mechanics. As such, we will explore their potential for becoming quantum bits relevant for information storage, computation and telecommunication. Our approach will be focused on creating a bridge between fundamental quantum properties of our emitting centres with their potential applications by introducing novel methods of their fabrication conducive of scalability and integration with modern technologies. We will open new technological pathways that ensure creation of stabile and reproducible quantum emitters within atomically thin films.
