Description

Two-dimensional (2D) materials have profoundly transformed materials physics and optoelectronics since their emergence. Their atomic thickness, strong spin–orbit interaction, lack of inversion symmetry, and compatibility with stacking into van der Waals heterostructures make them particularly attractive platforms for exploring new electronic, optical, and spintronic properties.



These features have enabled the emergence of a new class of artificial materials with tunable properties, opening the way to a wide range of applications in electronics and optoelectronics. Today, the engineering of these materials and heterostructures at the atomic scale is also rapidly developing for promising applications in quantum technologies (quantum sensing and quantum communications).

In this context, the development of new quantum technology devices based on 2D structures relies on three main directions:
