Beyond heteroepitaxial growth, the process integrations of freestanding thin-film devices open up more possibilities for high levels of integration and multi-functionalization applications, overcoming the limitations of epitaxial substrate materials. Benefiting from the abundant and exceptional electrical and photoelectrical properties of III-nitrides, the heterogeneous integration of thin-film devices significantly enhances the functional capabilities in the fields of on-chip optical communication, micro-LED display, and flexible sensing. In this review, we present a comprehensive overview of freestanding thin-film device fabrication technology and its integration strategies.

Such non-uniform distribution of elements detrimentally impacts color purity and long-term device stability in PeLEDs, highlighting the need to address elemental segregation issues. Additionally, quasi-2D perovskites have garnered attention for their potential to mitigate ion migration while maintaining superior optoelectronic properties attributable to the quantum confinement effect. Nevertheless, precise control over dimensionality remains challenging due to the thermodynamically favored 2D/3D phase separation, hindering efficient energy transfer.

We begin by summarizing the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) argument and the Bell correlations that cannot be explained by local hidden variable theories. It was originally an open question as to whether (and how) such quantum correlations could occur on a macroscopic scale, since this would seem to contradict the correspondence principle. The purpose of this review is to examine how this question has been answered over the decades since the original papers of EPR and Bell. We first review work relating to higher spin measurements which revealed that </span>macroscopic quantum states could exhibit Bell correlations. This covers higher dimensional, multiparticle and continuous-variable EPR and Bell states where measurements on a single system give a spectrum of outcomes, and also multipartite states where measurements are made at multiple separated sites. It appeared that the macroscopic quantum observations were for an increasingly limited span of measurement settings and required a fine resolution of outcomes. Motivated by this, we next review correlations for macroscopic superposition states, and examine predictions for the violation of Leggett-Garg inequalities using dynamical quantum systems. These results reveal Bell correlations for coarse-grained measurements which need only distinguish between macroscopically distinct states, thus bringing into question the validity of certain forms of macroscopic realism. Finally, we review progress for massive systems, including Bose-Einstein condensates and optomechanical </span>oscillators<span>, where EPR-type correlations have been observed between massive systems. Experiments are summarized which support the predictions of quantum mechanics in mesoscopic regimes.</span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":414,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Quantum Electronics","volume":"90 ","pages":"Article 100396"},"PeriodicalIF":11.7,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"3034945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The phase retrieval method known as ptychography solves this problem by making it possible to measure ultrafast pulses in either the time domain or the frequency domain. One well known algorithm is the principal components generalized projections algorithm (PCGPA) for extracting pulses from Frequency-Resolved Optical Gating (FROG) measurements. Here, we discuss the development of the PCPGA and introduce new developments including an operator formalism that allows for the convenient addition of external constraints and the development of more robust algorithms. A close cousin, the ptychographic iterative engine will also be covered and compared to the PCGPA.

Employing tunneling injection in </span>quantum dot<span><span> lasers is significantly more complicated. Tunneling injection is based on an energy band alignment between a carrier reservoir and the active region where laser oscillation takes place. However, the inherent inhomogeneity of self-assembled quantum dots prevents an unequivocal band alignment and can cause the tunneling injection process to actually deteriorate the laser performance compared to nominally identical quantum dot lasers that have no tunneling section. Understanding the complex process of tunneling injection in quantum dot lasers requires a comprehensive study where different aspects are analyzed theoretically and experimentally. In this paper we describe the technology of such lasers in the InP material system followed by a microscopic analysis of the detailed electrical characterization which is correlated to the electro-optic properties yields information about the exact carrier transport mechanism at bias levels of almost zero to well above threshold. A tunneling injection quantum dot </span>optical amplifier was used for multi wavelength pump probe characterization from which it is clear why tunneling injection often deteriorates laser performance and determines how to design a structure which can take advantage of tunneling injection.
