First demonstration of bright, stable single-photon emission at room temperature using 2D semiconductors

"quantum light sources (quantum information bits) only function at extreme cryogenic temperatures, overcome locally straining 2D transition metal dichalcogenide creating nanobubbles/ wrinkles, forcing exciton trapping in tiny space enabling pure/ bright single photon emissions... allows quantum component integration into standard fiber-optics.... strain enables color (wavelength) tuning... quantum cryptography/ computing, sensing, biological imaging... future: electrical triggering, quantum LED (instead of laser)"
