Characterizing the functional role of quantum coherence in energy transfer

Hallmann Óskar Gestsson, Alexandra Olaya-Castro

Quantum coherence has been suggested to play a role in excitation energy transfer in open quantum systems, yet a quantitative approach to assessing its influence on the transfer pr…

Perturbation-theory approach for predicting vibronic selectivity by entangled-photon-pair absorption

C. D. Rodriguez-Camargo, H. O. Gestsson, C. Nation +2

Using second-order perturbation theory in the light-matter interaction, we derive an analytical approximation for the vibronic populations of a diatomic system excited by ultrabroa…

Equivalence of dynamics of disordered quantum ensembles and semi-infinite lattices

Hallmann Óskar Gestsson, Charlie Nation, Alexandra Olaya-Castro

We develop a formalism for mapping the exact dynamics of an ensemble of disordered quantum systems onto the dynamics of a single particle propagating along a semi-infinite lattice,…

Multi-level Purcell effect and the impact of vibrational modes in molecular quantum optics

Charlie Nation, Valentina Notararigo, Alexandra Olaya-Castro

The increased decay rate of a two-level system weakly coupled to an optical cavity, known as the Purcell effect, is a cornerstone of cavity QED. However, the effect of cavity coupl…

Basis-independent system-environment coherence is necessary to detect magnetic field direction in an avian-inspired quantum magnetic sensor

Thao P. Le, Alexandra Olaya-Castro

Advancing our understanding of non-trivial quantum effects in biomolecular complexes operating in physiological conditions requires the precise characterisation of the non-classica…
