High Efficient Localized Photon Sources (HELPS)

In this project, we developed new approaches based on metasurfaces and strain engineering for stable quantum emission by using hyperbolic Meta-Antennas arrays. The coupling to nano-antennas can be used to strongly enhance the quantum yield in TMDs via the enhancement of the radiative decay rate, emphasizing the potential of this approach for light-emitting device applications. Our findings revealed that these artificially engineered planar materials are optimal electromagnetic environments to generate, control and manipulate quantum emitters from atomically thin layers. The results of the project will push quantum technology to extreme enhancement of emission light which will provide new opportunities for the development of quantum encryption, as well as quantum computers.
