Liouvillian Geometry of Multidimensional Spectra: Pathway Transport and Observational Holonomy in Open Quantum Systems

Eric R. Bittner, Carlos Silva-Acuña, Carlos Silva-Acuña +1

Liouville pathways provide the conceptual foundation for interpreting multidimensional spectroscopies and are commonly represented as independent contributions to the nonlinear res…

Geometric Response in Open Quantum Systems: Coherence, Curvature, and Susceptibility

Eric R. Bittner, Carlos Silva-Acuña

We develop a response-geometric framework for open quantum systems by decomposing the stationary-state response tensor into symmetric and antisymmetric sectors. The symmetric secto…

Detection Defines Dephasing in Two-Dimensional Electronic Spectroscopy of Materials: Coherent Field Emission versus Incoherent Population Observables

Simón Paiva-Ortega, Simón Paiva-Ortega, Hao Li +3

The homogeneous spectral linewidth associated with light-matter interactions is a fundamental descriptor of the optical properties of materials, governed by the quantum dynamics of…

Biexcitons in Ruddlesden-Popper Metal Halides Probed by Nonlinear Coherent Spectroscopy

Katherine A. Koch, Carlos Silva-Acuña, Ajay Ram Srimath Kandada

Excitons and their correlated complexes underpin the rich photophysics of quantum-confined semiconductors. Among these, biexcitons -- bound states of two electrons and two holes --…

Resolving exciton and polariton multi-particle correlations in an optical microcavity in the strong coupling regime

Victoria Quirós-Cordero, Esteban Rojas-Gatjens, Martín Gómez-Dominguez +7

Multi-particle correlations of exciton-polaritons and reservoir-excitons in the strong light-matter coupling regime dictate the quantum dynamics of optical microcavities. In this l…

Coherent Spectroscopic Probes of Topology: A Velocity-Gauge Perspective

Eric R Bittner, Carlos Silva-Acuna

We present a velocity-gauge formalism for computing nonlinear current response functions in periodic systems and apply it to the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model as a minimal topol…
