Single photon emitters (SPEs) in 2D semiconductors can be deterministically positioned using localized strain induced by underlying nanostructures. Here, the authors show SPE coupling in WSe2 to GaP dielectric nanoantennas, substantially increasing quantum efficiency and photoluminescence brightness.
