Normal-ordered perturbative expansion for matter systems interacting with continuous-mode quantum photon fields

Liwen Ko, Robert L. Cook, K. Birgitta Whaley

We develop a normal-ordered perturbative expansion method to compute the reduced dynamics of a matter system interacting with a general continuous-mode photon field state. In this…

Input-output formulation of quantum light spectroscopy

Liwen Ko, Robert L. Cook, K. Birgitta Whaley

We develop an input-output formulation of quantum light spectroscopy (QLS) by combining the input-output theory, commonly used in quantum optics, with the perturbative expansion me…

First-Principles Nonadiabatic Dynamics via the Multi-Orbital Anderson-Newns Model

Liwen Ko, Joonho Lee

We develop a first-principles theory for nonadiabatic surface dynamics, providing a fit-free connection between density functional theory (DFT) calculations and the effective multi…

Optimal sensing on an asymmetric exceptional surface

Robert L. Cook, Liwen Ko, K. Birgitta Whaley

We study the connection between exceptional points (EPs) and optimal parameter estimation, in a simple system consisting of two counter-propagating traveling wave modes in a micror…

Performing quantum entangled biphoton spectroscopy using classical light pulses

Liwen Ko, Robert L. Cook, K. Birgitta Whaley

We show that for a class of quantum light spectroscopy (QLS) experiments using n = 0,1,2, classical light pulses and an entangled photon pair (a biphoton state) where one p…

A Quantum trajectory picture of single photon absorption and energy transport in photosystem II

Robert L. Cook, Liwen Ko, K. Birgitta Whaley

In this work we study the first step in photosynthesis for the limiting case of a single photon interacting with photosystem II (PSII). We model our system using quantum trajectory…

Interplay of vibration- and environment-assisted energy transfer

Zeng-Zhao Li, Liwen Ko, Zhibo Yang +2

We study the interplay between two environmental influences on excited state energy transfer in photosynthetic light harvesting complexes, namely, vibrationally assisted energy tra…

Unraveling excitation energy transfer assisted by collective behaviors of vibrations

Zeng-Zhao Li, Liwen Ko, Zhibo Yang +2

We investigate how collective behaviors of vibrations such as cooperativity and interference can enhance energy transfer in a nontrivial way, focusing on an example of a donor-brid…
