We show that exciton-type transport in certain materials can be dramatically modified by their inclusion in an optical cavity: the modification of the electromagnetic vacuum mode structure introduced by the cavity leads to transport via…
Exciton harvesting is demonstrated in an ensemble of quantum emitters coupled to localized surface plasmons. When the interaction between emitters and the dipole mode of a metallic nanosphere reaches the strong coupling regime, the exciton…
Efficiency of quantum transport through aggregates with multiple end-points or traps proves to be an emergent and a highly non-equilibrium phenomenon. We present a numerically exact approach for computing the emergent time scale and amount…
In the quest for signatures of coherent transport we consider exciton trapping in the continuous-time quantum walk framework. The survival probability displays different decay domains, related to distinct regions of the spectrum of the…
We present a real-space method for first-principles nano-scale electronic transport calculations. We use the non-equilibrium Green's function method with density functional theory and implement absorbing boundary conditions (ABCs, also…
Recent ultrafast optical experiments show that excitons in large biological light-harvesting complexes are coupled to molecular vibration modes. These high-frequency vibrations will not only affect the optical response, but also drive the…
Complex absorbing potentials (CAPs) are artificial potentials added to electronic Hamiltonians to make the wavefunction of metastable electronic states square-integrable. This makes the electronic structure problem of electronic resonances…
We present a theoretical framework for biexciton dynamics in molecular aggregates that explicitly treats populations and coherences across excitation manifolds within a reduced density-matrix formalism. By extending kinetic descriptions…
Unravelling the nature of energy transport in multi-chromophoric photosynthetic complexes is essential to extract valuable design blueprints for light-harvesting applications. Long-range exciton transport in such systems is facilitated by a…
The complex absorbing potential (CAP) technique is one of the commonly used Non-Hermitian quantum mechanics approaches for characterizing electronic resonances. CAP combined with various electronic structure methods has shown promising…
Self-assembled aggregates of pigment molecules are potential building blocks for excitonic circuits that find their application in energy conversion and optical signal processing. Recent experimental studies of one-dimensional…
Exciton transport in molecular aggregates is a fundamental process governing the performance of organic optoelectronics and light-harvesting systems. While most theoretical studies have emphasized long-time transport behavior, recent…
The role of noise in the transport properties of quantum excitations is a topic of great importance in many fields, from organic semiconductors for technological applications to light-harvesting complexes in photosynthesis. In this paper we…
Recent air pollution issues have raised significant attention to develop efficient air filters, and one of the most promising candidates is that enabled by nanofibers. We explore here selective molecular capture mechanism for volatile…
The complex absorbing potential (CAP) formalism has been successfully employed in various wavefunction-based methods to study electronic resonance states. In contrast, Green's function-based methods are widely used to compute ionization…
We present the fundamentals of a measure transport approach to sampling. The idea is to construct a deterministic coupling---i.e., a transport map---between a complex "target" probability measure of interest and a simpler reference measure.…
We present a theoretical model for the study of exciton dynamics in J-aggregated monolayers of fluorescent dyes. The excitonic evolution is described by a Monte-Carlo wave function approach which allows for a unified description of the…
Exciton transport in molecular aggregates with magic-angle orientation is expected to be strongly suppressed due to their negligible dipole-dipole interactions. However, recent reports show that light-matter interactions can significantly…
We report on the modulation of indirect excitons (IXs) as well as their transport by moving periodic potentials produced by surface acoustic waves (SAWs). The potential modulation induced by the SAW strain modifies both the band gap and the…
In condensed-matter physics, remarkable advances have been made with atomic systems by establishing a thorough control over cooling and trapping techniques. In semiconductors, this method may also provide a deterministic approach to reach…
