Luca Vannucci

Luca Vannucci is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Photonics Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), where he conducts research in quantum photonics and quantum light sources. His work focuses on developing high-purity single-photon emitters using two-dimensional materials and nanostructured photonic systems.

His research interests lie at the intersection of quantum optics, nanophotonics, and condensed matter physics. Specifically, he investigates quantum emitters in 2D materials such as WSe₂, phonon-assisted excitation mechanisms, strain and defect engineering, and cavity quantum electrodynamics in low-dimensional systems. His theoretical and experimental work aims to enhance the efficiency, stability, and indistinguishability of quantum light sources for quantum information applications.

The recent publications highlight a strong trend toward engineering quantum photonic devices with reduced decoherence and enhanced control over emission properties. His work integrates material science with photonic design to realize scalable quantum technologies.

Luca Vannucci actively supervises PhD students and contributes to advanced research projects in quantum photonics. He has served as a supervisor in multiple completed PhD projects related to Design and Simulations of Quantum Light Sources and Optomechanics with Quantum Emitters. He also presented his research at international conferences, including a talk on Phonon-decoupled di-chromatic pumping scheme for highly efficient and indistinguishable single-photon sources in October 2022.

He is affiliated with the Quantum Light Sources group at DTU, which focuses on the development of next-generation quantum photonic technologies using solid-state emitters and nanophotonic structures.
