Layered ZnPS₃ emits single photons, opening new path for quantum chips

Researchers from the University of Warsaw, in partnership with institutions in Singapore and the Netherlands, discovered that layered ZnPS₃ can emit single photons, which could advance quantum computing and communication technologies. The study, published in ACS Nano, highlights the potential of two-dimensional materials like ZnPS₃ as alternatives to traditional quantum dot or diamond-based systems. These materials offer advantages such as easier manipulation and compatibility with existing photonic components. The research suggests that structural defects, such as single phosphorus atom vacancies, might be responsible for the single-photon emission, with implications for quantum cryptography due to the polarized nature of the emitted photons.
