- Abstract: Organic molecules have recently gained attention as novel sources of single
photons. We present a joint experiment--theory analysis of the
temperature-dependent emission spectra, zero-phonon linewidth, and second-order
correlation function of light emitted from a single molecule. We observe
spectra with a zero-phonon-line together with several additional sharp peaks,
broad phonon sidebands, and a strongly temperature dependent homogeneous
broadening. Our model includes both localised vibrational modes of the molecule
and a thermal phonon bath, which we include non-perturbatively, and is able
capture all observed features. For resonant driving we measure Rabi
oscillations that become increasingly damped with temperature, which our model
naturally reproduces. Our results constitute an essential characterisation of
the photon coherence of these promising molecules, paving the way towards their
use in future quantum information applications.

Photoexcited organic chromophores appended to molecular qubits can serve as a source of spin initialization or multi-level qudit generation for quantum information applications.
Time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance (TREPR) experiments carried out at both 85 K and room temperature reveal the formation of a long-lived spin-polarized quartet state.
Exploiting this phenomenon affords the possibility of using photoinduced triplet states in porphyrins for quantum information as a resource to polarize and magnetically couple molecular electronic or nuclear spin qubits and qudits.

We consider an ensemble of Alkali atoms that are continuously optically pumped and probed.
Due to the collective scattering of photons at large optical depth, the steady state of atoms does not correspond to an uncorrelated tensor-product state.
We find and characterize regimes of Raman lasing, akin to the model of a superradiant laser.
