"description": "The functionality of atomic quantum emitters is intrinsically linked to their host lattice coordination. Structural distortions that spontaneously break the lattice symmetry strongly impact their optical emission properties and spin-photon interface. In a recent manuscript, we report on the direct imaging of charge state-dependent symmetry breaking of two prototypical atomic quantum emitters in mono- and bilayer MoS\u2082 by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and non-contact atomic force microscopy (nc-AFM). By changing the built-in substrate chemical potential, different charge states of sulfur vacancies (Vac<sub>S</sub>) and substitutional rhenium dopants (Re<sub>Mo</sub>) can be stabilized. Vac<sub>S</sub>\u207b\u00b9 as well as Re<sub>Mo</sub>\u2070 and Re<sub>Mo</sub>\u207b\u00b9 exhibit local lattice distortions and symmetry-broken defect orbitals attributed to a Jahn-Teller effect (JTE) and pseudo-JTE, respectively. By mapping the electronic and geometric structure of single point defects, we disentangle the effects of spatial averaging, charge multistability, configurational dynamics, and external perturbations that often mask the presence of local symmetry breaking. This record contains data to support the results discussed in our manuscript.",
