Besides conventional optoelectronic devices (LEDs and laser), colloidal nanocrystals (NCs) are pursued as non-classical light sources (i.e. single photon emitters) that might play a pivotal role in future quantum technologies, such as quantum cryptography and quantum sensing. Due to strongly reduced charge trapping on surface states and their defect-tolerant character, perovskite NCs become attractive as alternative quantum light sources. Indeed, very stable, blinking-free emission¹ has been observed at cryogenic temperatures with ultrafast (ca. 200 ps) radiative lifetime² and long exciton dephasing time³. In addition, when organized in highly-ordered three-dimensional superlattices, perovskite NCs 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 NCs as non-classical light sources and future developments.
