Abstract
Abstract Photon superbunching is a signature of a strong correlation between photons, which is a crucial resource needed in quantum communication and computation. As such, a superbunched photon source based on a material with high quantum efficiency, like cesium lead halide perovskite, is highly desirable. Utilizing the large dark–bright exciton splitting in CsPbBr 3 quantum dot (QD), the authors achieve a superbunching with a large g (2) (0) ≈ 30 from an optically driven single CsPbBr 3 QD emission at cryogenic temperature. The cascaded emission is identified as the cause of this superbunching by utilizing second‐order cross‐correlation measurement and exploring the excitation power and temperature dependence of the bunching level. The findings have immediate implications on the basic understanding of a single perovskite QD emission and its application as a quantum light source.
