Specialised Seminar: "Emerging 2D Lateral Heterostructures for Reconfigurable Quantum Devices" by Prasana Kumar Sahoo (QMDrL, India)
Two-dimensional (2D) lateral heterostructures are opening new possibilities for controlling quantum phenomena at atomically sharp interfaces. In this specialised QUBITS seminar, Prasana Kumar Sahoo will present recent advances in scalable quantum materials and show how engineered 2D heterostructures can enable reconfigurable quantum technologies, including quantum light sources, excitonic circuits and integrated quantum photonic systems.

About the talk
Two-dimensional (2D) lateral heterostructures provide a versatile platform for controlling electrons, light–matter interactions, and quantum excitations at atomically sharp one-dimensional interfaces. We have developed scalable methods to synthesize seamless heterostructures and superlattices with tailored composition and electronic properties. These materials exhibit tunable light emission, photodetection, and excitonic switching, enabling multifunctional device operation.
By combining lateral and vertical engineering, we further realize programmable moiré quantum landscapes that manipulate excitons and phonons. Such capabilities open new opportunities for reconfigurable quantum technologies, including quantum light sources, excitonic circuits, intelligent photodetectors, and integrated quantum photonic systems.
