Abstract

Strong molecule-light interaction enables the control of molecular structures and dynamical processes. A model with a strong laser drive is proposed to greatly enhance the intermolecular distance of resonant energy transfer, where the molecules are strongly driven by an optical cavity. The optimal Rabi frequency and quantum yield of energy transfer are observed, resulting from the trade-off between dipole-dipole interaction and molecule-cavity coupling. When the strong drive at a certain Rabi frequency is applied, a larger spatial range of effective energy transfer and a slower decay rate with the distance compared to the F\"orster mechanism of resonant energy transfer are observed in our model. Our work sheds light on the spectroscopic study of cooperative energy transfer in molecular polaritons.

Molecular Electron Transfer in Optical Cavities: From Excitonic to Vibronic Polaritons

Takumi Hidaka, Tomohiro Fukushima, Nguyen Thanh Phuc

Strong coupling between molecular excitations and quantized electromagnetic fields in optical cavities provides a powerful means to control the physical and chemical properties of molecular systems. Here, we study electron transfer (ET) dynamics in cavity-coupled molecules using the numerically exact hierarchical equations of motion (HEOM) method, which captures nonperturbative and non-Markovian effects beyond standard perturbative theories. We identify distinct resonance and collective effects associated with polariton formation and show that the ET rate saturates in the strong-coupling regime, a feature not captured by perturbative approaches. We further extend the cavity-modified ET model by incorporating the nuclear-coordinate dependence of molecular electric dipole moments, which gives rise to a three-body interaction involving molecular electronic and vibrational degrees of freedom and cavity photons. This vibronic polariton formation leads to non-monotonic, oscillatory dependencies of the ET rate on the light-matter coupling strength and cavity frequency, which we attribute to quantum interference among multiple transfer pathways. These findings establish cavity-modified electron transfer as a multichannel quantum process governed by the interplay of electronic, vibrational, and photonic degrees of freedom.

Energy transfer and correlations in cavity-embedded donor-acceptor configurations

Reitz, M., Mineo, F., Claudiu Genes

The rate of energy transfer in donor-acceptor systems can be manipulated via the common interaction with the confined electromagnetic modes of a micro-cavity. We analyze the competition between the near-field short range dipole-dipole energy exchange processes and the cavity mediated long-range interactions in a simplified model consisting of effective two-level quantum emitters that could be relevant for molecules in experiments under cryogenic conditions. We find that free-space collective incoherent interactions, typically associated with sub-and superradiance, can modify the traditional resonant energy transfer scaling with distance. The same holds true for cavity-mediated collective incoherent interactions in a weak-coupling but strong-cooperativity regime. In the strong coupling regime, we elucidate the effect of pumping into cavity polaritons and analytically identify an optimal energy flow regime characterized by equal donor/acceptor Hopfield coefficients in the middle polariton. Finally we quantify the build-up of quantum correlations in the donor-acceptor system via the two-qubit concurrence as a measure of entanglement.

Coherent control of energy transfer in a quantum dot strongly coupled to a photonic crystal molecule

Vacuum Rabi oscillation is a damped oscillation in which energy can transfer between an atomic excitation and a photon when an atom is strongly coupled to a photonic cavity. This process is challenging to be coherently controlled due to the fact that interaction between the atom and the electromagnetic resonator needs to be modulated in a quick manner compared to vacuum Rabi frequency. This control has been achieved at microwave frequencies, but has remained challenging to be implemented in the optical domain. Here we demonstrated coherent control of energy transfer in a semiconductor quantum dot strongly coupled to a photonic crystal molecule by manipulating the vacuum Rabi oscillation of the system. Instead of using a single photonic crystal cavity, we utilized a photonic crystal molecule consisting two coupled photonic crystal defect cavities to obtain both strong quantum dot-cavity coupling and cavityenhanced AC stark shift. In our system the AC stark shift modulates the coupling interaction between the quantum dot and the cavity by shifting the quantum dot resonance, on timescales (picosecond) shorter than the vacuum Rabi period. We demonstrated the ability to transfer excitation between a quantum dot and cavity, and performed coherent control of light-matter states. Our results provides an ultra-fast approach for probing and controlling light-matter interactions in an integrated nanophotonic device, and could pave the way for gigahertz rate synthesis of arbitrary quantum states of light at optical frequencies.

Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics of Molecular Systems : Polarization Effects, Multiple Excitations, and Vibrational Selectivity

Garcia Borges, Lucas

The field of Polaritonic Chemistry studies molecules strongly coupled to the light field of optical cavities. The resulting modification of the potential energy landscape has been demonstrated to enable control over the chemical and physical properties of materials and molecular ensembles. This thesis extends the Tavis–Cummings model to describe molecules under strong light–matter coupling, incorporating static dipole moments and dipole self-energy contributions derived from the Pauli–Fierz Hamiltonian. These additional terms are shown to be essential for reproducing cavity-modified molecular dynamics and spectra. Simulations on the nuclear wavefunction propagation of MgH+ molecules demonstrate the impact of these terms, while an effective two-level system model accurately captures the behavior of large ensembles. Beyond single excitations, the thesis also explores the higher excitation manifolds of the Tavis-Cummings model, which reveals that allowing for more than a single excitation makes the reaction of the involved polaritons entropically more favorable. Open-system simulations highlight how the coherence of the system's initial state governs decay pathways and enables long-lived energy storage. Finally, a multilevel vibrational model coupled to a two-mode cavity is introduced, where a Raman scheme enables selective mixing of vibrational states. The simulation results show that continuous pumping can drive molecules into specific vibrational states while suppressing electronic excitation, both for single molecules and small ensembles. Together, these results provide new theoretical insights into the mechanisms by which optical cavities reshape molecular energy landscapes. The results suggest approaches for controlling photonic, electronic, and vibrational dynamics in strongly coupled systems, contributing to the theoretical foundation of polariton chemistry.

Quantum Langevin approach to cavity quantum electrodynamics with molecules

Michael Reitz, Christian Sommer, Claudiu Genes

We investigate the interaction between light and molecular systems modeled as quantum emitters coupled to a multitude of vibrational modes via a Holstein-type interaction. We follow a quantum Langevin equations approach that allows for analytical derivations of absorption and fluorescence profiles of molecules driven by classical fields or coupled to quantized optical modes. We retrieve analytical expressions for the modification of the radiative emission branching ratio in the Purcell regime and for the asymmetric cavity transmission associated with dissipative cross-talk between upper and lower polaritons in the strong coupling regime. We also characterize the Forster resonance energy transfer process between donor-acceptor molecules mediated by the vacuum or by a cavity mode.
