Abstract
The recent proposal of using an anisotropic vacuum for generating valley coherence in transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) monolayers has expanded the potential of such valley degrees of freedom for applications in valleytronics. In this work, we open up a completely new regime, inaccessible with monolayer TMDCs, of spontaneously generated valley coherence in interlayer excitons in commensurate TMDC bilayer heterostructures. Using the peculiar out of plane polarization of interlayer excitons in conjunction with an in-plane anisotropic electromagnetic vacuum, we show that a much larger region of the Bloch sphere can be accessible in these heterostructures. We show the accessible phases of these excitons given this in-plane anisotropic electromagnetic vacuum. Our analysis of spontaneous coherence for interlayer excitons may pave the way for engineering an array of interacting quantum emitters in Moiré heterostructures.
