Defects in atomically thin semiconductor emit single photons

Monday, May 4, 2015 - 13:00 in Physics & Chemistry

Researchers have shown that defects on an atomically thin semiconductor can produce light-emitting quantum dots. The quantum dots serve as a source of single photons and could be useful for the integration of quantum photonics with solid-state electronics -- a combination known as integrated photonics.
