虽然原子阵列的光学操控已达到高精度和高可扩展性，但基于溶液的类原子（如胶体量子点，CQDs）的稳定光学束缚仍受限于弱陷阱力和热涨落。高强度束缚往往损害这些发射体的量子特性，在机械稳定性和光学完整性之间造成显著权衡。为克服这一问题，我们提出将CQDs封装在透明聚合物基质中，从而在不改变发射体本身的情况下增加有效相互作用体积和光学恢复力。该策略允许在标准实验条件下实现稳定的空间束缚，通过光致发光成像和轨迹追踪直接分辨位置涨落得到证实。在平均位置涨落低于20纳米的情况下，固有发射光谱和光致发光衰减动力学基本不受影响，光子关联测量确认单光子发射的完全保持。这些发现为胶体量子发射体的受控束缚和原位量子光学测量建立了稳健方法，为未来人造原子的量子光学操控的进展奠定基础。
英文摘要
While optical manipulation of atomic arrays has reached a high degree of precision and scalability, the stable optical confinement of solution-based artificial atoms like colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) remains hindered by weak trapping forces and thermal fluctuations. High-intensity trapping often compromises the quantum properties of these emitters, creating a significant trade-off between mechanical stability and optical integrity. To overcome this, we propose encapsulating CQDs within a transparent polymer matrix, thereby increasing the effective interaction volume and optical restoring force without altering the emitters themselves. This strategy allows for stable spatial confinement under standard experimental conditions, as evidenced by the direct resolution of positional fluctuations through photoluminescence imaging and trajectory tracking. With averaged position fluctuations below 20 nm, the intrinsic emission spectra and photoluminescence decay dynamics remain largely unaffected, and photon-correlation measurements confirm the full preservation of single-photon emission. These findings establish a robust method for the controlled confinement of colloidal quantum emitters and in-situ quantum-optical measurements for future advancements in quantum-optical manipulation of artificial atoms.
