Figure 1

Normalized second-order intensity correlation traces for a single emitter (blue line) and a superposition of two distinguishable emitters (red line). For the simulations, a power law blinking model with exponents of α _on  = 1.7 and α _off  = 1.78 have been used. Details on the chosen model can be found in the methods section. Vertical dashed lines mark the borders between delay ranges where antibunching (τ₀, g⁽²⁾(τ₀) < 1), blinking (τ _b , g⁽²⁾(τ _b ) > 1) and uncorrelated emission (τ _u , g⁽²⁾(τ _u ) ≈ 1) become predominant. The inset shows a close-up view of the region marked by the black rectangle.
