- Abstract summary: We introduce an approach that permits a quantized description of the full EM field through a "minimal" number of discrete modes.
We show that excitation transfer between the emitters is highly sensitive to the properties of the hybrid photonic-plasmonic modes.

- Abstract: The control of the interaction between several quantum emitters using
nanophotonic structures holds great promise for quantum technology
applications. However, the theoretical description of such processes for
complex nanostructures is a highly demanding task as the electromagnetic (EM)
modes are in principle described by a high-dimensional continuum. We here
introduce an approach that permits a quantized description of the full EM field
through a "minimal" number of discrete modes. This extends the previous work in
[Medina et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 126, 093601 (2021)] to the case of an
arbitrary number of emitters with arbitrary orientations, without any
restrictions on the emitter level structure or dipole operators. We illustrate
the power of our approach for a model system formed by three emitters placed in
different positions within a metallodielectric photonic structure consisting of
a metallic dimer embedded in a dielectric nanosphere. The low computational
demand of this method makes it suitable for studying dynamics for a wide range
of parameters. We show that excitation transfer between the emitters is highly
sensitive to the properties of the hybrid photonic-plasmonic modes,
demonstrating the potential of such structures for achieving control over
emitter interactions.
