• Abstract summary: Moir'e potential acts as periodic quantum confinement for optically generated exciton, generating spatially ordered quantum system. We have demonstrated a new method to realize the optical observation of quantum coherence and interference of a single moir'e exciton. The observed quantum coherence and interference of moir'e exciton will facilitate potential application toward quantum technologies based on moir'e quantum systems.

• Abstract: Moir\'e potential acts as periodic quantum confinement for optically generated exciton, generating spatially ordered zero-dimensional quantum system. However, broad emission spectrum arising from inhomogeneity among moir\'e potential hinders the exploration of the intrinsic properties of moir\'e exciton. In this study, we have demonstrated a new method to realize the optical observation of quantum coherence and interference of a single moir\'e exciton in twisted semiconducting heterobilayer beyond the diffraction limit of light. A significant single and sharp photoluminescence peak from a single moir\'e exciton has been demonstrated after nano-fabrication. We present the longer duration of quantum coherence of a single moir\'e exciton, which reaches beyond 10 ps and the accelerated decoherence process with elevating temperature and excitation power density. Moreover, the quantum interference has revealed the coupling between moir\'e excitons in different moir\'e potential minima. The observed quantum coherence and interference of moir\'e exciton will facilitate potential application toward quantum technologies based on moir\'e quantum systems.

  coherent control of a two-level system is among the most essential challenges in modern quantum optics. We use a mechanically isolated quantum emitter in hexagonal boron nitride to explore the individual mechanisms which affect the coherence of an optical transition under resonant drive. New insights on the underlying physical decoherence mechanisms reveals a limit in temperature until which coherent driving of the system is possible.
