This book presents the first established experimental results of an
emergent field: 2-dimensional materials as platforms for quantum
technologies, specifically through the optics of quantum-confined
excitons. It also provides an extensive review of the literature
from a number of disciplines that informed the research, and
introduces the materials of focus - 2d Transition Metal
Dichalcogenides (2d-TMDs) - in detail, discussing electronic and
chemical structure, excitonic behaviour and response to strain.
This is followed by a brief overview of quantum information
technologies, including concepts such as single-photon sources and
quantum networks. The methods chapter addresses quantum optics
techniques and 2d-material processing, while the results section
shows the development of a method to deterministically create
quantum dots (QDs) in the 2d-TMDs, which can trap single-excitons;
the fabrication of atomically thin quantum light-emitting diodes to
induce all-electrical single-photon emission from the QDs, and
lastly, the use of devices to controllably trap single-spins in the
QDs -the first step towards their use as optically-addressable
matter qubits.
