Symmetry-protected bound states in the continuum (SP-BICs) are one of the most intensively
studied BICs. Typically, SP-BICs must be converted into quasi-BICs (QBICs) by breaking the …

Solid‐state single photon emitters (SPEs) within atomically thin transition metal
dichalcogenides (TMDs) have recently attracted interest as scalable quantum light sources …

The ability to dynamically steer sub-picosecond pulses from a monolithically integrated
source is a critical milestone for the fields of nanophotonics and ultrafast optics …

Transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) heterobilayers have emerged as a promising
platform for exploring solid-state quantum simulators and many-body quantum phenomena …

Strong coupling between photons and excitons gives rise to Rabi splitting and hybridized
states. These exhibit spectral anticrossing behavior and ultrafast energy exchange …

Tailoring light–matter interactions in single-layer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is vital for its

A toroidal dipole is a fundamental electromagnetic excitation independent of electric and
magnetic dipoles. At present, a great deal of attention has been paid to the characteristics …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors possess strongly bound excitons, opening
novel opportunities for engineering light–matter interaction at the nanoscale. However, their …

The electronic and optical properties of 2D transition metal dichalcogenides are dominated
by strong excitonic resonances. Exciton dynamics plays a critical role in the functionality and …

Using a quasi-static model of a toroidal metamaterial we demonstrate analytically that
simultaneous excitation of the magnetic and toroidal dipoles in an array of subwavelength …
