Channeling defect emission through topological Jackiw-Rebbi states in hBN
Hugo Quard, Sergei Nedić, Nika Teran +4
When two photonic structures of different topology are joined, an optical mode appears at their junction. Its existence depends only on this topological difference and not on the p…

Correlating spin and optical properties of quantum emitters in hBN
Nika Teran, Benjamin Whitefield, Nicholas Sloane +3
Optically addressable spin defects in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) are well suited for near-surface quantum sensing. They offer bright, wavelength-tunable single-photon emission w…

In-situ Silicon Doped hBN by High-Temperature Molecular Beam Epitaxy Enables Single Photon Emission
Jiyun Kim, Nika Teran, Juliette Plo +8
Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has emerged as a leading host for optically active quantum defects. Yet introduction of specific impurity species other than carbon remains unexplored…
