This thesis investigates the design and development of novel SAW devices combining strong piezoelectric and superconducting alloy materials with semiconductors hosting two classes of quantum emitters–self-assembled In(Ga)As quantum dots, and quantum emitters in h-BN and WSe2 layered materials. The aims of this research are to both understand the mechanism of the optomechanical coupling and engineer high-quality devices which push forward the state of the art of SAWs coupled to optically active quantum emitters.
