Abstract

Superfluorescence in upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) is a room-temperature quantum phenomenon which can dramatically increase the rate and overall quantity of photons emitted by neodymium (Nd3+) doped UCNPs. This perspective article contextualizes how SF-UCNPs could be exploited as a class of optical nanomaterials for second generation quantum technology applications.
