Quantum Devices Based on 2D Atomic Crystals and their Heterostructures
Abstract
We propose new designer heterostructure materials suitable for exploring new states of matter such as high T excitonic Bose Einstein condensation (BEC) and materials used for generation of entangled photon pairs. Such devices will be based on two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) and their van der Waals heterostructures (TMDCH) with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) and graphene. These devices will offer better performance and potentially operate at higher temperatures as compared to the state of the art conventional semiconductor systems. We aim to use these structures to explore high-density condensates of excitons in type-II TMDCH aimed at detecting entangled photon pairs and reaching Bose-Einstein condensation regime.
