Colloidal lead halide perovskite quantum dots, due to their optical versatility and facile solution processability, have been recently recognized as components of various optoelectronic devices. Detailed understanding of their exciton recombination dynamics at the single-particle level is necessary for utilizing their full potential. We conducted spectroscopic studies of the excitons and biexciton dynamics in single CsPbBr 3 perovskite quantum dots. It was found that while the rates of radiative recombination remain essentially constant, the overall relaxation process is dominated by nonradiative recombination of single excitons and biexcitons. The radiative lifetime scaling is determined to be ∼1.0 for single exciton and ∼4.4 for biexcitons. A linear dependence of fluorescence lifetime vs intensity distribution agrees well with the prediction of the model of multiple recombination centers. The blinking mechanism of CsPbBr 3 quantum dots is addressed by considering the trion states under higher excitation powers.
Thermal entanglement of a two-qubit Heisenberg chain in presence of the Dzyaloshinski-Moriya (DM) anisotropic antisymmetric interaction and entanglement teleportation when using two independent Heisenberg chains as quantum channel are investigated. It is found that the DM interaction can excite the entanglement and teleportation fidelity. The output entanglement increases linearly with increasing value of input one, its dependences on the temperature, DM interaction and spin coupling constant are given in detail. Entanglement teleportation will be better realized via antiferromagnetic spin chain when the DM interaction is turned off and the temperature is low.However, the introduction of DM interaction can cause the ferromagnetic spin chain to be a better quantum channel for teleportation. A minimal entanglement of the thermal state in the model is needed to realize the entanglement teleportation regardless of antiferromagnetic or ferromagnetic spin chains.
We construct an entangled quantum heat engine (EQHE) based on two two-spin systems with Dzyaloshinski-Moriya (DM) anisotropic antisymmetric interaction. By applying the explanations of heat transferred and work performed at the quantum level in Kieus work [PRL, 93, 140403 (2004)], the basic thermodynamic quantities, i.e., heat transferred, net work done in a cycle and efficiency of EQHE are investigated in terms of DM interaction and concurrence. The validity of the second law of thermodynamics is confirmed in the entangled system. It is found that there is a same efficiency for both antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic cases, and the efficiency can be controlled in two manners: 1. only by spin-spin interaction J and DM interaction D; 2. only by the temperature T and concurrence C. In order to obtain a positive net work, we need not entangle all qubits in two two-spin systems and we only require the entanglement between qubits in a two-spin system not be zero. As the ratio of entanglement between qubits in two two-spin systems increases, the efficiency will approach infinitely the classical Carnot one. An interesting phenomenon is an abrupt transition of the efficiency when the entanglements between qubits in two two-spin systems are equal.
In fluorescence imaging and detection, undesired fluorescence interference (such as autofluorescence) often hampers the contrast of the image and even prevents the identification of structures of interest. Here, we develop a quantum coherent modulationenhanced (QCME) single-molecule imaging microscopy (SMIM) to substantially eliminate the strong fluorescence interference, based on manipulation of the excitedstate population probability of a single molecule. By periodically modulating the phase difference between the ultrashort pulse pairs and performing a discrete Fourier transform of the arrival time of emitted photons, the decimation of single molecules from strong interference in QCME-SMIM has been clearly determined, where the signal-tointerference ratio is enhanced by more than 2 orders of magnitude. This technique, confirmed to be universal to organic dyes and linked with biomacromolecules, paves the way to high-contrast bioimaging under unfavorable conditions.
Lead halide perovskite quantum dots (QDs) are promising materials for next‐generation photoelectric devices because of their low preparation costs and excellent optoelectronic properties. In this study, the blinking mechanisms and the intrinsic quantum‐confined Stark effect (IQCSE) in single organic–inorganic hybrid CH3NH3PbBr3 perovskite QDs using single‐dot photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy is investigated. The PL quantum yield‐recombination rates distribution map allows the identification of different PL blinking mechanisms and their respective contributions to the PL emission behavior. A strong correlation between the excitation power and the blinking mechanisms is reported. Most single QDs exhibit band‐edge carrier blinking under a low excitation photon fluence. While under a high excitation photon fluence, different proportions of Auger‐blinking emerge in their PL intensity trajectories. In particular, significant IQCSEs in the QDs that exhibit more pronounced Auger‐blinking are observed. Based on these findings, an Auger‐induced IQCSE model to explain the observed IQCSE phenomena is observed.
