Titre | Top-down integrated quantum photonics using hexagonal boron nitride |
Résumé | In the context of photonic quantum information science, the 2D material hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has emerged as a very promising material, allowing realisation of compact heterostructures and integrated photonic devices. Moreover, this wide-gap material hosts single-photon emitters with advantageous optical properties. However, these deep defects initially suffered from random emission wavelength and spatial location, thereby limiting their scalability for practical applications. We have recently demonstrated a technique to generate quantum emitters in hBN with controlled position and wavelength. The emitters are locally activated in exfoliated hBN single crystals using a focused electron beam, opening the way for top-down integration in nanostructures. They exhibit bright and narrow lines with high optical coherence and low ensemble distribution. I will present their fabrication technique, their optical properties and coherent control, as well as a two-photon interference experiment to evaluate their indistinguishability. I will also show recent results of deterministic integration into photonic structures. Altogether, the controlled generation of coherent quantum emitters in 2D materials open appealing perspectives in quantum photonics. |
