Piotr TatarczakUniversity of Warsaw, Warsaw, Poland _______________________________________ Emission of single photon-emitters (SPEs) in layered BN covers almost the entire visible spectral range. The presence of carbon impurities plays a crucial role in the formation of these color centers [1], but their nature is still not fully explained. Many defect-related studies rely on post-growth carbon incorporation…
Gabriele GrossoCity University of New York, Advanced Science Research Center – New York, New York, USA_______________________________________ Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has emerged as a promising material for quantum photonics due to its ability to host single-photon emitters (SPEs) that operate at room temperature with high brightness and stability [1,2]. Emitters in hBN exhibit significant variability…
Atac Imamoglu
Professor of Physics, ETH Zurich
Atac Imamoglu received his PhD in 1991 from Stanford University for his work on electromagnetically induced transparency. After an ITAMP postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard University, he joined University of California, Santa Barbara as an assistant professor where he demonstrated the first solid-state single-photon source. In 2002, he moved to the Department of Physics at ETH Zurich, where he leads the Quantum Photonics group. His research focuses on quantum optics of two dimensional materials, with a strong emphasis on optical spectroscopy of strongly correlated electrons in van der Waals heterostructures.
