Abstract
The present disclosure describes electron-photon and electron-phonon interactions in 2D material systems. In some embodiments, novel entangled states are implemented. Such entangled states may involve the superposition of electronic and phononic modes in these materials. The states may be utilized to realize the transduction of quantum information and sensing. In an aspect, the present disclosure may be a quantum sensor having a single-phonon emitter configured to emit a single phonon. A phononic transducer is configured to receive the emitted single phonon from the single-phonon emitter and propagate the single phonon. A phonon detector is configured to detect an arrival of the propagated single phonon received from the phononic transducer.
