Two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride is a host material for bright and stable single-photon emitters. By applying strain or electric fields, their emission properties can be tuned, rendering them promising candidates for quantum photonic applications [1,2]. Here, we present voltage-dependent photoluminescence measurements of a quantum emitter in dual-graphene-gated hBN, showing a gate-controllable, step-like, fivefold increase in emission intensity. Furthermore, we observe a correlation between the reported increase of emitter intensity and the direction of the leakage current through the hBN. This suggests photo-induced tunneling processes within the hBN as an explanation for the observed intensity switching. Thus, our results are a step towards understanding the charge dynamics between graphene gates and hBN quantum emitters.
