Poincar\'e Sphere Representation of Spin-Driven Polarization Encoding in Two-Dimensional Perovskite Light Sources

Abstract:Nonlinear optical light sources enable the generation of photons with polarization states that are intrinsically determined by underlying material dynamics, rather than imposed through external modulation. Here, we investigate the fundamental quantum communication performance achievable using four-wave-mixing signal fields emitted by a representative two-dimensional perovskite system. The experimentally reconstructed signal field is represented by Stokes-vector trajectories on the Poincaré sphere to establish a practical framework for visualizing spin-driven polarization encoding. An empirical nonlinear response model further connects the properties of the signal field to microscopic exciton and biexciton electronic structure, revealing that interference between resonantly enhanced optical transitions governs the accessible polarization states. The model additionally predicts that modest stabilization of the lowest-energy biexciton could substantially improve the polarization-encoding performance and provide a route toward materials optimization. More broadly, these results motivate closer integration of nonlinear spectroscopy, semiconductor materials, and quantum information science in the development of novel light sources for quantum communication.
