Engineering coherent systems is a central goal of quantum science, quantum optics, and quantum information processing. For quantum nanophotonics applications, it is particularly important to design and control systems that exhibit coherent optical transitions and long spin coherence times. This review outlines the requirements for a variety of quantum nanophotonics applications, and describes the key material properties that affect physical properties related to these requirements.
