We consider metamolecule consisting of bosonic mode correlated with the two-level system: it can be, for example, plasmonic mode interacting with the quantum dot. We focus on the parameter range where all the correlations are strong and of…

In solids, disorder is conventionally regarded as detrimental to coherence. It typically localizes and dampens collective excitations, as exemplified by Anderson localization or the broadening of magnetic modes in systems lacking long-range…
