- Abstract: Using electric dipoles to describe light-matter interactions between two
entities is a conventional approximation in physics, chemistry, and material
sciences. However, the lack of material structures makes the approximation
inadequate when the size of an entity is comparable to the spatial extent of
electromagnetic fields or the distance between two entities. In this study, we
develop a unified theory of radiative and non-radiative resonance energy
transfer based on transition current density in a theoretical framework of
macroscopic quantum electrodynamics. The proposed theory allows us to describe
polariton-assisted resonance energy transfer between two entities with
arbitrary material structures in spatially dependent vacuum electric fields. To
demonstrate the generality of the proposed theory, we rigorously prove that our
theory can cover the main results of the transition density cube method
[Krueger et al., J. Phys. Chem. B 102, 5378 (1998)] and the plasmon-coupled
resonance energy transfer [Hsu et al., J. Phys. Chem. Lett. 8, 2357 (2017)]. We
believe that this study opens a promising direction for exploring light-matter
interactions beyond the scope of electric dipoles and provides new insights
into material physics.

We present a microscopic quantum theory of light-matter interaction in pristine sheets of two-dimensional semiconductors coupled to localized electromagnetic resonators.
The light-matter interaction breaks the translation symmetry of excitons in the two-dimensional lattice, and we find that this symmetry-breaking interaction leads to the formation of a localized exciton state.
We quantify the influence of the environment and find that it is most pronounced for small lateral confinement length scales of the electromagnetic field in the resonator.
