• Abstract: We study the quantum dynamics of a photo-excitation uniformly distributed at the periphery of an extended star network (with $N_B$ branches of length $L_B$). More specifically, we address here the question of the energy absorption at the core of the network and how this process can be improved (or not) by the inclusion of peripheral defects with a tunable energy amplitude $\Delta$. Our numerical simulations reveal the existence of optimal value of energy defect $\Delta^*$ which depends on the network architecture. Around this value, the absorption process presents a strong speedup (i.e. reduction of the absorption time) provided that $L_B \leq L_B^*$ with $L_B^* \approx 12.5/\ln(N_B) $. Analytical/numerical developments are then conducted to interpret this feature. We show that the origin of this speedup takes place in the hybridization of two upper-band excitonic eigenstates. This hybridization is important when $L_B \leq L_B^*$ and vanishes almost totally when $L_B > L_B^*$. These structural rules we draw here could represent a potential guide for the practical design of molecular nano-network dedicated to the realisation of efficient photo-excitation absorption.

  No class-B quantum density-matrix model is available to date, capable of accurately describing coherence and photon correlations within a unified theory. Here we carry out a density-matrix theoretical approach for generic class-B lasers, and provide closed equations for the photonic and atomic reduced density matrix in the Fock basis of photons. This model enables the study of few-photon bifurcations and non-classical photon correlations in class-B laser devices, also leveraging quantum descriptions of coherently coupled nanolaser arrays.
