Nanoheating and Nanoconduction with Near‐Field Plasmonics: Prospects for Harnessing the Moiré and Seebeck Effects in Ultrathin Films

Abstract

In particular, nanoplasmonics is seen as a pathway forward to produce noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices circa room-temperature by taking advantage of its ultrafast (pico-femto second) dynamics [3] and the relatively low decoherence rates of plasmonically-coupled quantum emitters. [4] Such characteristics are highly desired for the fabrication of quantum networks which include logic gates, memories, and repeaters for error correction. [5,6] Furthermore, nanoheating due to plasmonics has notably been used within the next generation of data storage devices, [7] cancer treatments, [8] photovoltaic and solar cell technology, [9] and pro-
