Controlling single-photon emission on a few nanometers plays an important role for the scalability of future quantum photonic circuits. Moreover, it is highly relevant to facilitate a gate-switchable emission for quantum information schemes. By irradiating MoS2 with helium ions, we generate single-photon sources at ∼1.75 eV with a lateral position accuracy of only a few nanometers. [1] Second-order correlation measurements unambiguously proof the nature of single-photon emission. Charge doping of the monolayer MoS2 can be used for switching the quantum emission on and off. [2] This deterministic control of light emission in spatial and temporal means paves the way for new integrated quantum photonic technologies.
