Wafer-scale integration of 2D materials for quantum simulators and photonic integrated circuits

The field of quantum science and technology focusing specifically on quantum simulation deals with the development of novel quantum systems and hardware to realize new approaches to understanding and controlling complex quantum many-body systems on different time and energy scales. Integrating 2D materials into semiconductor production lines is a promising avenue as it enables the use of already well-established manufacturing processes, such as lithography and etching. However, one of the main barriers to the development of technologies based on 2D materials is the lack of device manufacturing processes at large scale. The development of reliable production processes would unleash the potential of 2D materials not only for quantum technologies, but for a whole range of applications, from optical communication to high-frequency electronics. This project proposes the development of wafer-scale integration of 2D materials for quantum simulators and photonic integrated circuits. Detailed investigations on 2D materials and processing challenges will be conducted to realize successful high-quality quantum devices on large wafer scale.
