- Abstract summary: We show that the second-order, two-time correlation functions for phonons and photons emitted from a vibronic molecule in a thermal bath result in bunching and anti-bunching.
We demonstrate that cross-correlation functions have a strong dependence on the order of detection giving insight into how phonon dynamics influences the emission of light.

- Abstract: We show that the second-order, two-time correlation functions for phonons and
photons emitted from a vibronic molecule in a thermal bath result in bunching
and anti-bunching (a purely quantum effect), respectively. Signatures relating
to phonon exchange with the environment are revealed in photon-photon
correlations. We demonstrate that cross-correlation functions have a strong
dependence on the order of detection giving insight into how phonon dynamics
influences the emission of light. This work offers new opportunities to
investigate quantum effects in condensed-phase molecular systems.

We show that time-asymmetries in the cross-correlations of photons corresponding to different polarizations can be exploited to probe quantum coherent transport mechanisms and steady-state coherence properties.
Our results put forward photon correlation asymmetry as a promising approach to investigate coherent contributions to excited-stated dynamics in molecular aggregates and other many-site quantum emitters.

We study the photon statistics within the loss-emulating channel and observe photon coincidences, which may provide insights into the design of quantum photonic integrated chips.

We consider a prototype light-harvesting heterodimer exhibiting coherent and collective exciton-vibration interactions.
We show that coherent vibronic mechanisms strongly affect the asymmetries characteristic of time-resolved photon cross-correlations.
We discuss how such second-order correlation asymmetry establishes important connections between coherent vibronic interactions, directional exciton population transport, and violation of quantum detailed balance.

We discuss two-photon correlations from the side peaks that are formed when a two-level system emitter is driven coherently.
We show that their combination leads to a neat picture compatible with perturbative two-photon scattering.
This should help to control, enhance and open new regimes of multiphoton emission.

Quantum asymmetry is a physical resource which coincides with the amount of coherence between the eigenspaces of a generator.
We show that the asymmetry may emphincrease as a result of a emphdecrease of coherence inside a degenerate subspace.

We study a system of two interacting, non-indentical quantum emitters driven by a coherent field.
We show that the features imprinted by the two-photon dynamics into the spectrum of resonance fluorescence are particularly sensitive to changes in the distance between emitters.
This can be exploited for applications such as superresolution imaging of point-like sources.

In spite of particle losses the quantum entanglement propagation exhibits a ballistic character with propagation speeds related to the differerent quasiparticles that are involved in the dynamics.
Our analysis reveals that photon dissipation has a strikingly asymmetric behavior in the two configurations with a much more dramatic role on the holon entanglement propagation than for the doublon case.
