Both two-dimensional (2D) transitional metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and III–V semiconductors have been considered as potential platforms for quantum technology. While 2D TMDs exhibit a large exciton binding energy, and their quantum properties can be tailored via heterostructure stacking, TMD technology is currently limited by the incompatibility with existing industrial processes. Conversely, III-nitrides have been widely used in light-emitting devices and power electronics but not leveraging excitonic quantum aspects. Recent demonstrations of 2D III-nitrides have introduced exciton binding energies rivaling TMDs, promising the possibility to achieve room-temperature quantum technologies also with III-nitrides. Here, we discuss recent advancements in the synthesis and characterizations of 2D III-nitrides with a focus on 2D free-standing structures and embedded ultrathin quantum wells. We overview the main obstacles in the material synthesis, vital solutions, and the exquisite optical properties of 2D III-nitrides that enable excitonic and quantum-light emitters.
