Quantum Dot Blinking Ensemble — Power-Law Statistics Lab

Interactive 2D simulation of an ensemble of blinking quantum dots: watch a grid of independently flickering nanocrystals and the live log-log survival-function plot that reveals the power-law statistics measured in real single quantum-dot spectroscopy.

Single colloidal quantum dots don't fluoresce steadily under continuous illumination — they randomly flicker between a bright, photon-emitting state and a dark state where an ejected charge carrier quenches emission via Auger recombination. This 2D simulation renders a whole grid of independently blinking dots like a synthetic single-molecule microscopy field, and builds a live log-log survival-function plot of the collected ON-durations so you can watch the power-law exponent α and the long-time cutoff τ_c reveal themselves statistically — the same analysis used on real single quantum-dot spectroscopy data.

⚙ Under the hood

Watch a 2D grid of independently blinking quantum dots — a synthetic single-molecule microscopy field — while a live log-log survival-function plot builds up from the collected ON-durations, revealing the truncated power-law exponent and cutoff timescale statistically, the same analysis used on real single quantum-dot spectroscopy data.
