NSF-SNSF: Probing Atomic-Scale Quantum Light Sources in Two-Dimensional Semiconductor/Meta — NSF Award to Pennsylvania State Univ

Nontechnical Summary The SPARK project aims to address a critical need for new light sources to advance quantum information science by developing materials and tools for the generation of single photons from atomic-scale defects in ultra-thin semiconductors. These single photons serve as the basic units of information
