Toward triggered generation of indistinguishable single-photons from MoTe 2 quantum emitters
This work demonstrates a reproducible method to create high-quality single-photon sources in bilayer MoTe2 using strain and defect engineering. By combining directional strain with electron-beam defects, researchers achieved emitters with strong polarization, short lifetimes, and high purity. Crucially, they showed the first demonstration of photon indistinguishability for MoTe2 quantum emitters in the near-infrared spectrum.
