• Abstract: Solid-state platforms are particularly attractive for quantum optics because they facilitate on-chip integration and are compatible with established semiconductor and photonic technologies. However, a major challenge in solid-state quantum optics is the fabrication of arrays of identical emitters, such as quantum dots. In this work, we propose moire superlattices as a novel solid-state platform for manipulating light at the single-photon level. Moire superlattices form arrays of artificial-atom states characterized by nearly identical optical transition energies, tunable spacing, and highly adjustable electronic structures. They naturally operate as atomically thin, scalable, periodic emitters, making them ideal for quantum applications. Additionally, the extensive materials database of moire superlattices offers spectral coverage spanning a broad range of optical wavelengths.
