• Abstract: A general rate theory for resonance energy transfer is formulated to incorporate any degrees of freedom (e.g., rotation, vibration, exciton, and polariton) as well as coherently-coupled composite states. The compact rate expression allows us to establish useful relationships: (i) detailed balance condition when the donor and acceptor are at the same temperature; (ii) proportionality to the overlap between donor's emission and acceptor's absorption spectra; (iii) scaling with the effective coherent size, i.e., the number of coherently coupled molecules; (iv) spatial and orientational dependences as derived from the interaction potential. When applied to cavity-assisted vibrational energy transfer, the rate formalism provides an intuitive and quantitative explanation of intriguing phenomena such as cooperativity, resonance, and nonlinearity in the collective vibrational strong coupling regime, as demonstrated in recent simulations.

• Gauge-invariant absorption of light from a coherent superposition of states [0.0]
  Transient absorption theory is motivated using the energy operator from Yang's gauge theory. The interaction, which simultaneously couples both bound and continuum states, is simulated by solving the time dependent Schr"odinger equation for hydrogen and neon atoms. It is found that non-resonant transitions are the source of asymmetry in energy and phase, while resonant transitions to the continuum contribute symmetrically to absorption of light from coherent superpositions of states.

• Observation of coherent oscillations in association of dimers from a thermal gas of ultracold atoms [0.0]
  Finite thermal energy of the gas causes loss of coherence when a broad continuum is resonantly coupled to a discrete bound state. Non-adiabatic transitions of the dressed molecular energy level are induced by a strong modulation pulse with fast envelope dynamics. The observed results may lead to a renewed interest in general studies of a discrete energy level coupled to a broadband continuum when the properties of both are fully controlled.

We identify clear spectral features of single- and multi-phonon vibrationally-assisted energy transfer (VAET) dynamics. We observe a phononic analogue of two-photon absorption, as well as a novel heteroexcitation mechanism in which a single phonon gives rise to simultaneous excitation of both the trimeric system and the vibrational degrees of freedom.

We show that it is modulated in time, and that the presence of the oscillating mirror can enhance or inhibit the decay rate.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.
