Besides conventional optoelectronic devices (LEDs and lasers), colloidal quantum dots (QDs) are being pursued as non-classical light sources (i.e., single-photon emitters) that may play a pivotal role in future quantum technologies, such as quantum computing, quantum cryptography, and quantum sensing.

Due to strongly reduced charge trapping on surface states and their defect-tolerant character, perovskite QDs become attractive as alternative quantum light sources. Indeed, very stable, blinking-free emission1 has been observed at cryogenic temperatures, characterized by an ultrafast radiative lifetime2,3 and a long exciton dephasing time. In addition, when organized in highly ordered three-dimensional superlattices, perovskite QDs exhibit superfluorescence (SF)4,5, a cooperative emission of individual emitters that arises due to a coherent collective coupling to a common light field.

The talk will review our recent achievements in the exploration of perovskite QDs as non-classical light sources, in particular energy-degenerate photon-pair generation from Individual CsPbBr3 quantum dots6 and future developments.
