Single photon sources from two dimensional materials and their interfacing with plasmonic waveguides

Abstract

We present a comprehensive review of formation and control of single photon sources from two dimensional materials. We critically analyze the creation and control of these quantum emitters both at room and at low temperature. Deterministic formation and position controlled methodology is elaborated and pictorially explained. We enlist major single photon sources from various two dimensional and non two dimensional resources. Plasmonic waveguides and the interfacing of single photon sources with them are critically analyzed and reviewed. Furthermore, we envisize the geometry of plasmonic waveguides for maximum coupling of single photons.
