Photonics is a very promising platform for quantum information processing but the lack of availability of high performance single photon source and absence of interactions between individual photons are major roadblocks toward realization of practical photonic quantum information processing systems. Two dimensional (2D) materials based photonics is a promising solution which may largely alleviate these issues, while also offering many additional advantages including simple fabrication, low profile, and opportunities for engineering novel quantum states. The ultra thin nature of 2D materials results in very small light-matter interaction volume, which severely limits the usefulness of these materials for practical applications. The proposed research is a collaboration with an expert in materials science from the University of Berkeley to explore mechanisms to enhance the light-matter interaction in 2D materials. Success of this project will be a significant step towards enhancing the performance of 2D photonic devices for quantum information processing applications. The project will also offer unique opportunities for students to gain multidisciplinary experience in materials science and nanophotonics.

光子学是一个非常有前途的量子信息处理平台，但缺乏高性能单光子源以及单个光子之间缺乏相互作用是实现实用光子量子信息处理系统的主要障碍。基于二维 (2D) 材料的光子学是一种很有前景的解决方案，可以在很大程度上缓解这些问题，同时还提供许多其他优势，包括制造简单、外形小巧以及设计新颖量子态的机会。二维材料的超薄性质导致光与物质相互作用体积非常小，这严重限制了这些材料在实际应用中的实用性。拟议的研究是与伯克利大学材料科学专家合作，探索增强二维材料中光与物质相互作用的机制。该项目的成功将是提高量子信息处理应用的二维光子器件性能的重要一步。该项目还将为学生提供获得材料科学和纳米光子学多学科经验的独特机会。
