Perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) have attracted increasing interest in the realization of single-photon emitters owing to their ease of chemical synthesis, wide spectral tunability, fast recombination rate constant, scalability, and high quantum yield. However, the integration of a single perovskite NC into a photonic structure has yet to be accomplished. In this work, the integration of a highly stable individual zwitterionic ligand-based CsPbBr3 perovskite NC with a circular Bragg grating (CBG) is successfully demonstrated. The far-field radiation pattern of the NC inside the CBG exhibits high directionality toward a low azimuthal angle, which is consistent with the simulation results. A 5.4-fold enhancement in brightness is observed due to an increase in collection efficiency. Moreover, a 1.95-fold increase in the recombination rate constant is achieved. This study offers ultrafast (<100 ps) single-photon emission and an improved brightness of perovskite NCs, which are critical factors for practical quantum optical applications.
