Microscopic quantum description of surface plasmon polaritons: Revealing intrinsic ultrastrong light-matter coupling

Florian Maurer, Thomas F. Allard, Yanko Todorov +2

We develop a microscopic quantum theory of surface plasmon polaritons valid for arbitrary metal-dielectric geometries. Our framework is based on the Power-Zienau-Woolley representa…

Reentrant localization transition in a dimerized quasiperiodic dipolar chain

Thomas F. Allard, Guillaume Weick

Reentrant localization transitions, that is, the transitions of a portion of the eigenspectrum from localized to critical and then again to localized as the quasiperiodic modulatio…

Mirror-induced effects in cavity polaritonics: Influence on edge states

Thomas F. Allard, Guillaume Weick

Optical cavities are widely used to induce strong light-matter coupling and thereby enable the presence of polaritons. While polaritons are at the source of most of the observed ph…

Multiple polaritonic edge states in a Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chain strongly coupled to a multimode cavity

Thomas F. Allard, Guillaume Weick

A dimerized chain of dipolar emitters strongly coupled to a multimode optical waveguide cavity is studied. By integrating out the photonic degrees of freedom of the cavity, the sys…

Disorder-enhanced transport in a chain of lossy dipoles strongly coupled to cavity photons

Thomas F. Allard, Guillaume Weick

We study the interplay between disorder and light-matter coupling by considering a disordered one-dimensional chain of lossy dipoles coupled to a multimode optical cavity, through…

Quantum theory of plasmon polaritons in chains of metallic nanoparticles: From near- to far-field coupling regime

Thomas F. Allard, Guillaume Weick

We develop a quantum theory of plasmon polaritons in chains of metallic nanoparticles, describing both near- and far-field interparticle distances, by including plasmon-photon Umkl…
