- Abstract: We consider bio-inspired ring systems as photovoltaic circuits to explore the
advantage of `optical ratcheting', a process whereby the arrangement of coupled
optical dipoles enables delocalised excitonic states that are protected against
radiative decay whilst permitting the absorption of further photons. We explore
how the performance of a ratcheting antenna scales with system size when
excitons are incoherently or coherently extracted from the antenna to an
associated trap site. In both instances we also move to the polaron frame in
order to more closely model realistic systems where the coupling to vibrational
modes can generally be assumed to be strong. We find a multifaceted and nuanced
dependence of the predicted performance on an interplay between geometrical
arrangement, extraction mechanism, and vibrational coupling strength. Certain
regimes support substantial performance improvements in the power extracted per
site.

system [0.0]
Entanglement in hybrid quantum systems comprised of fundamentally different degrees of freedom is of interest.
We propose to engineer bipartite entanglement between traveling acoustic phonons in a Brillouin active solid state system.
The proposed mechanism presents an important feature in that it does not require initial preparation of the quantum ground state of the phonon mode.

We propose THz sub-wavelength antenna designs that tune the radiative decay rates of dipole emitters at their proximity.
The proposed designs include a spherical InSb antenna and a cylindrical Si-InSb hybrid antenna that demonstrate distinct behaviors.
These novel mechanisms are potentially promising for tunable THz single-photon sources in integrated quantum networks.

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.

We study the dynamics of a pair of optomechanical systems interacting dissipatively with a wave guide in a unidirectional way.
We explore both classical and quantum correlations established between the modes in both the transient and in the stationary regime.
We show that this unidirectional coupling establishes a temperature gradient between the mirrors, depending on the frequencies' detuning.

experimentally interesting scheme, based on coherent feedback with linear, passive optical components.
We find that, by introducing an additional passive element, an optomechanical system in the deeply sideband-unresolved regime will exhibit dynamics similar to one that is sideband-resolved.
With this new approach, the experimental realization of groundstate cooling and optomechanical entanglement is well within reach of current integrated state-of-the-art high-Q mechanical resonators.
