• Abstract: Enantiodetection is an important and challenging task across natural science. Nowadays, some chiroptical methods of enantiodetection based on decoherence-free cyclic three-level models of chiral molecules can reach the ultimate limit of the enantioselectivities in the molecular responses. They are thus more efficient than traditional chiroptical methods. However, decoherence is inevitable and can severely reduce enantioselectivities in these advanced chiroptical methods, so they only work well in the weak decoherence region. Here, we propose an enantioselective switch on the radiation of dissipative chiral molecules and develop a novel chiroptical method of enantiodetection working well in all decoherence regions. In our scheme, radiation is turned on for the selected enantiomer and simultaneously turned off for its mirror image by designing the electromagnetic fields well based on dissipative cyclic three-level models. The enantiomeric excess of a chiral mixture is determined by comparing its emissions in two cases, where the radiations of two enantiomers are turned off respectively. The corresponding enantioselectivities reach the ultimate limit in all decoherence regions, offering our scheme advantages over other chiroptical methods in enantiodetection. Our work potentially constitutes the starting point for developing more efficient chiroptical techniques for enantiodection in all decoherence regions.

• Directional spontaneous emission in photonic crystal slabs [49.1574468325115]
  Spontaneous emission is a fundamental out-of-equilibrium process in which an excited quantum emitter relaxes to the ground state due to quantum fluctuations. One way to modify these photon-mediated interactions is to alter the dipole radiation patterns of the emitter, e.g., by placing photonic crystals near them. Our study delves into the interaction between these directional emission patterns and the aforementioned variables, revealing the untapped potential to fine-tune collective quantum optical phenomena.

  We investigate the possibility of exploiting thermodynamic processes for enantiomer detection. In particular, we employ a quantum Otto cycle, in which a chiral molecule described by a three-level system is considered a working medium. We find that the left-handed molecule works as a heat engine, while the right-handed molecule works as a thermal accelerator.

  Magnetic field effects (MFE) in certain chemical reactions have been well established in the last five decades. We employ elaborate and realistic models of radical-pairs, considering its coupling to the local spin environment and the sensor. For two model systems, we derive signals of MFE detectable even in the weak coupling regime between radical-pair and NV quantum sensor.

  Enantiodetection of chiral molecules is important to pharmaceutical drug production, chemical reaction control, and biological function designs. Traditional optical methods of enantiodetection rely on the weak magnetic-dipole or electric-quadrupole interactions, and in turn suffer from the weak signal and low sensitivity. We propose a new optical enantiodetection method to determine the enantiomeric excess via two-dimensional (2D) spectroscopy of the chiral mixture driven by three electromagnetic fields.
