Quantum Sensing Using Entangled Photons and Phonons
A quantum semiconductor design that opens up the possibility of realizing novel devices in which electron-phonon coupling is exploited to generate single phonons on-demand.
Background:
Hot carriers in semiconductor devices may lose energy efficiently through the emission of phonons. In 2D materials, the phonon energies (100-200 meV) can be well...
