Abstract

In this chapter, we introduce the main properties of the most popular van der Waals materials for single-photon generation: hexagonal boron nitride(hBN), group-VI transition metal dichalcogenide semiconductors (TMDs), and 2D quantum devices consisting of different 2D crystals assembled into van der Waals heterostructures. We then focus primarily on quantum emitters (QEs) hosted by TMD semiconductors, including a description of their typical spin and optical properties. Finally, we consider the different means to engineer the QEs and their coupling to cavities and integrated photonic chips.
