Macroscopic coherence of a single exciton state in a polydiacetylene organic quantum wire

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2015-06-25 v1

Abstract

We show that a single exciton state in an individual ordered conjugated polymer chain exhibits macroscopic quantum spatial coherence reaching tens of microns, limited by the chain length. The spatial coherence of the k=0 exciton state is demonstrated by selecting two spatially separated emitting regions of the chain and observing their interference.
