contents Single photons emitters (SPEs) are key components in quantum information applications and are commonly generated in 2D materials by inhomogeneous strain engineering. Here, we report an alternative approach that involves a 2D semiconductor/2D magnet heterostructure. The optical study of the WSe2/CrSBr heterostructures reveals several new emission lines at lower energies compared to characteristic WSe2 emissions, that are assigned to localized excitons. Further investigation demonstrates that one of these emergent lines is an SPE with a strong valley polarization response and large energy shift with the field-induced metamagnetic transition in CrSBr, linking it to the magnetic proximity effect of the adjacent CrSBr layer. In contrast to previous reports on WSe2 that only allow tuning of the SPEs by out-of-plane magnetic field, our emitter is sensitive to both in- and out-of-plane fields. Our findings demonstrate the potential of this approach for improved control and polarization of SPEs in 2D materials.
