Battulga Munkhbat

Battulga Munkhbat is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Photonics Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), where he conducts cutting-edge research in quantum photonics and nanomaterials. His work focuses on developing quantum light sources using two-dimensional materials, particularly transition metal dichalcogenides such as WSe₂, for applications in optical quantum information technology.

His research interests lie at the intersection of quantum optics, materials science, and nanophotonics. Key areas include:

• Quantum emitters in 2D materials
• Single-photon sources for quantum communication
• Strain and defect engineering in monolayer and bilayer systems
• Integration of quantum emitters with photonic devices
• Nanoengineering of TMD-based photonic platforms

The recent trend in his publications highlights a strong focus on high-purity single-photon emission from bilayer and monolayer WSe₂, utilizing phonon-assisted excitation and strain control. His work often involves collaboration with experts in nanofabrication and theoretical modeling, aiming to enhance the performance and scalability of quantum photonic devices for future quantum networks.

He is actively supervising multiple PhD students and leading projects that bridge fundamental physics with practical quantum technologies.

His research is supported by active grants in quantum photonics and nanomaterial engineering, particularly in projects related to:

• Quantum Dot Emitters Integrated with SiN Devices for Remote Quantum Computing
• Nanoengineered 2D TMDs-based Photonic Devices for Optical Quantum Information Technology
• Quantum Light Sources for Optical Quantum Information Processing

Dr. Munkhbat is part of a vibrant research lab at DTU that specializes in quantum light source development, working closely with Prof. Niels Gregersen and other collaborators in the field of integrated quantum photonics.
