Excitation Transport in Dipole-Coupled Photonic Emitter Arrays

ORAL

Abstract

In this work, we explore the transport dynamics of ordered and disordered atomic lattices of three-level V-type emitters. Understanding the fundamental mechanisms of excitation transport in quantum systems is pivotal for future generation quantum networks and chiral nanophotonics. Additionally, studying such phenomena can provide insight into the functionality of biologically-inspired light-harversting complexes. While previous studies have demonstrated efficient, unidirectional transport in one-dimensional systems via subradiant guided modes or chiral waveguides, here we examine the properties of two-dimensional arrays coupled to a nanowire extraction site. We characterize the transport efficiency of circularly-polarized chiral excitons as a function of geometry, detuning, extraction rate, dissipation, and static disorder.
