SINPHONI
On-chip Moiré Single-Photon Emitters for Quantum Communications
Developing strain-tunable moiré single-photon emitters integrated with photonic cavities for scalable quantum communication technologies.
Quantum light sources from moiré materials
Future quantum technologies require compact, stable and scalable sources of single photons. SINPHONI addresses this challenge by exploiting moiré superlattices in two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides as a new platform for solid-state quantum light emission.
SINPHONI will develop on-chip moiré single-photon emitters for quantum communications. The project combines twisted transition-metal dichalcogenide heterostructures, programmable strain control, dielectric microcavities, advanced optical spectroscopy, nanoscale electron microscopy and predictive modelling to create compact chip platforms hosting multiple independently tunable quantum light sources.
