Abstract:

Controlling and manipulating individual quantum systems underpins the development of scalable quantum technologies. These new technologies enable more precise and sensitive metrology and have the potential to revolutionise computing, enabling functionality inconceivable using classical technologies. Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is emerging as an exceptional platform for applications in quantum photonics. Defects within hBN’s two-dimensional crystalline lattice can form an atom-like two-level system, which when excited can only release one photon at a time. The quantum emission from defects in this material is promising as single photons are ideal candidates for information carriers, flying qubits, integral to the future of advanced quantum technologies. Furthermore, due to the interaction between these defects and their local environments, they can be excellent quantum sensors on an atomic scale. The focus of this thesis is to control, manipulate, and study hBN quantum emitters to understand their applicability today and their potential in future quantum technologies.
