  1. A single photoexcited electron−hole pair within a polar semiconductor nanocrystal (SNC) alters the charge screening and shielding within it. Perturbations of the crystal lattice and of the valence and conduction bands result, and the quantum-confinement states in a SNC shift uniquely with a dependence on the states occupied by the carriers. This shifting is termed quantum-state renormalization (QSR). This Perspective highlights QSR in semiconductor quantum wires and dots identified in time-resolved transient absorption and two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy experiments. Beyond the interest in understanding the principles of QSR and energy-coupling mechanisms, we pose the contributions of QSR in time-resolved spectroscopy data must be accounted for to accurately identify the time scales for intraband relaxation of the carriers within SNCs.
