In this work, we explore the dynamics of quantum correlations, namely coherence, entanglement, and nonlocality associated with a Bell state, in a dimeric arrangement of organic PBI molecules, mediated by dipole-dipole interactions, under time-fractional dynamics. Within the framework of the time-fractional Schrödinger equation (TFSE) with Caputo fractional derivatives, we explore system dynamics for different values of the fractional order
τ, transition energies, interaction strength, and purity
p. We employ the relative entropy of coherence, logarithmic entanglement entropy and concurrence, and CHSH inequality to estimate system dynamics associated with coherence, entanglement, and nonlocality, respectively. These findings highlight the role of the fractional order
τ in system dynamics, including memory effects and relaxation, and thereby bring together ideas from fractional calculus and quantum information theory perspectives and discuss methodologies to control and utilize these molecular quantum correlations.
Fractionalization without time-reversal symmetry breaking is a long-sought-after goal in the study of correlated phenomena. The earlier proposal of correlated insulating states at n±1/3 filling in twisted bilayer graphene and recent experimental observations of insulating states at those fillings strongly suggest that moiré graphene systems provide a new platform to realize time-reversal symmetric fractionalized states. However, the nature of fractional excitations and the effect of quantum fluctuation on the fractional correlated insulating states are unknown. We show that excitations of the fractional correlated insulator phases in the strong coupling limit carry fractional charges and exhibit fractonic restricted mobility. Upon introduction of quantum fluctuations, the resonance of "lemniscate" structured operators drives the system into quantum lemniscate liquid (QLL) or quantum lemniscate solid (QLS). We find an emergent U(1)×U(1) 1-form symmetry unifies distinct motions of the fractionally charged excitations in the strong coupling limit and in the QLL phase, while providing a new mechanism for fractional excitations in two dimensions. We predict emergent Luttinger liquid behavior upon dilute doping in the strong coupling limit due to restricted mobility and discuss implications at a general n±1/3 filling.
The spontaneous emission of a V-type three-level quantum emitter near graphene layers is investigated. With appropriate doping densities, graphene layers support transverse electric- (TE-) polarized surface plasmons. This kind of plasmon can enhance the decay rates of dipoles parallel to the layers, and subsequently, strong quantum interference presents between the two orthogonal transition dipoles of the emitter. As a result, the emission field polarization and the spectrum can be radically changed. This can be evidence of the TE-polarized surface plasmons in the graphene layers.
