  "abstract": "<p>Combining the quantum optical properties of single-photon emitters with the strong near-field interactions available in nanophotonic and plasmonic systems is a powerful way of creating quantum manipulation and metrological functionalities. The ability to actively and dynamically modulate emitter-environment interactions is of particular interest in this regard. While thermal, mechanical and optical modulation have been demonstrated, electrical modulation has remained an outstanding challenge. Here we realize fast, all-electrical modulation of the near-field interactions between a nanolayer of erbium emitters and graphene, by in-situ tuning the Fermi energy of graphene. We demonstrate strong interactions with a &nbsp;&gt;1000-fold increased decay rate for &nbsp;~25% of the emitters, and electrically modulate these interactions with frequencies up to 300&nbsp;kHz &ndash; orders of magnitude faster than the emitter&rsquo;s radiative decay (~100&nbsp;Hz). This constitutes an enabling platform for integrated quantum technologies, opening routes to quantum entanglement generation by collective plasmon emission or photon emission with controlled waveform.</p>",
