• Abstract: Quantum emitters in confined arrays exhibit geometry dependent collective dynamics. In particular, nanoscopic regular polygon-shaped arrays can possess sub-radiant states with an exciton lifetime growing exponentially with emitter number. We show that by placing an extra resonant absorptive dipole at the ring center, such a structure becomes a highly efficient single-photon absorber with tailorable frequency. Interestingly, for exactly nine emitters in a nonagon, as it appears in a common biological light-harvesting complex (LHC2), we find a distinct minimum for its most dark state decay rate and a maximum of the effective absorption cross-section, surpassing that for a single absorptive emitter. The origin of this optimum for nine emitters can be geometrically traced to the fact that the sum of coupling strengths of a single ring emitter to all others including the center ring closely matches the coupling of the center to all ring emitters. The emerging dark collective eigenstate has dominant center occupation facilitating efficient energy absorption and fast transport. The resonance frequency can be tuned via ring size and dipole polarization. In analogy to parabolic antennas, the ring concentrates the incoming radiation at the center without being significantly excited, which minimizes transport loss and time.

  We show that by coupling nitrogen-vacancy centers in a diamond membrane to a high-finesse microcavity, few, incoherent, inhomogeneous, and spatially separated emitters can enter the regime of collective emission. We observe a super-linear power dependence of the emission rate as a hallmark of collective emission.

  Two non-identical quantum emitters, when placed within a cavity and coherently excited at the two-photon resonance, can reach stationary states of nearly maximal entanglement. We show that this mechanism is merely one among a complex family of phenomena that can generate both stationary and metastable entanglement when driving the emitters at the two-photon resonance.

  A ring of sub-wavelength spaced dipole-coupled quantum emitters features extraordinary optical properties when compared to a one-dimensional chain or a random collection of emitters. One finds the emergence of extremely subradiant collective eigenmodes similar to an optical resonator. This creates collective excitations with significant contributions from all three rings as a vital ingredient for efficient and fast coherent inter-ring transport.
