Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are
a new class of electronic materials offering tremendous opportunities for advanced …

The sensitive dependence of a semiconductor's electronic, optical and magnetic properties
on dopants has provided an extensive range of tunable phenomena to explore and apply to …

The concept of the photon, central to Einstein's explanation of the photoelectric effect, is
exactly 100 years old. Yet, while photons have been detected individually for more than 50 …

Fundamentally secure quantum cryptography has still not seen widespread application
owing to the difficulty of generating single photons on demand. Semiconductor quantum-dot …

Optoelectronic devices that provide non-classical light states on demand have a broad
range of applications in quantum information science, including quantum‐key‐distribution …

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is an emerging material in nanophotonics and an attractive
host for color centers for quantum photonic devices. Here, we show that optical emission …

We describe a quantum repeater protocol for long-distance quantum communication. In this
scheme, entanglement is created between qubits at intermediate stations of the channel by …

Point defects in crystalline solids behave as optically addressable individual quantum
systems when present in sufficiently low concentrations. In two-dimensional (2D) …

The recent discovery of exciton quantum emitters in transition metal dichalcogenides
(TMDCs) has triggered renewed interest of localized excitons in low-dimensional systems …

We describe a system for long-distance distribution of quantum entanglement, in which
coherent light with large average photon number interacts dispersively with single, far …
