Abstract
Controlling and manipulating individual quantum systems underpins the development of scalable quantum technologies. Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is emerging as an exceptional platform for applications in quantum photonics. The two-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) crystal hosts single photon emitting defects (quantum emitters) opening new functionality currently inaccessibly with other 3D quantum sources. Due to the two-dimensional nature of the crystal, hBN is an ideal material to integrate into vdW heterostructure devices. These devices have recently been shown to enable electrical modulation of single photon emission. Additionally, the study of the dephasing mechanisms of these sources helps assess the future utilization of hBN emitters in quantum interference experiments.
