Abstract:

whose non-local character exceeds the bounds allowed by quantum mechanics. Motivated by our observation that an extension of the Schroedinger equation with non-linear terms is directly linked to a relaxation of Born's rule, an axiom of quantum mechanics, we derive a physical theory that accounts for such hyper-correlated states and modifies Born's rule. We model correlated particles with a generalized probability theory whose dynamics are described with a non-linear version of Schr\"odinger's equation and demonstrate how that deviates from the standard formulation of quantum mechanics in experimental probability-prediction. We show also that the violation of the Clauser-Horn-Shimony-Holt inequality, the amount of non-locality, is proportional to the degree of non-linearity, which can be experimentally tested.

Abstract:

The effect of surface passivation on the photoluminescence (PL) emitted by CsPbBr3 micro/nano‐rods coated with Pb(OH)2 is investigated, where a high quantum yield and excellent stability for the emission are found. The CsPbBr3/Pb(OH)2 rods generally present a peak that is blue shifted compared to that seen in rods without a hydroxide cladding at low temperatures. By increasing the temperature, it is further shown that the passivated surface states are very robust against thermal effects and that the PL peak intensity only drops by a factor of 1.5. Localized stimulated emission at defect states found within larger rods is also demonstrated, clarified by spatially resolved confocal PL mapping along the length of the rods. The diffusion parameter of the carrier density distribution is measured to be 5.70 µm for the sky‐blue emission, whereas for the defect lasing site it is found to be smaller than this excitation spot size.

Controlling the pump power allowed us to fine-tune the TEM mode structure to the emission wavelength, thus providing a degree of control over the properties of the lasing signal. The temperature-tuning provided an additional degree of control over the wavelength of the lasing peak, importantly, maintained a constant full width at half maximum (FWHM) over the entire tuning range without mode-hopping.</jats:p>
