- Abstract: The increased decay rate of a two-level system weakly coupled to an optical
cavity, known as the Purcell effect, is a cornerstone of cavity QED. However,
the effect of cavity coupling is not well understood if the two-level system is
replaced by a multi-level interacting system. Motivated by experiments looking
to characterise molecular systems via exploiting a cavity interaction, we study
a manifestation of the Purcell effect in a bio-inspired photosynthetic dimer.
We focus in particular on how molecular vibrational modes, thought to play an
important role in photosynthetic exciton transport, impact the system-cavity
behaviour in the Purcell regime. We provide a theoretical picture in terms of
an effective non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, which extends the simple picture of a
Jaynes-Cummings model to the description of a `multi-level' Purcell effect,
where different levels have differing Purcell factors, with effective
cooperativities mediated by coherent vibrational interactions.

emitters via two-photon excitation [49.1574468325115]
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.

Our results demonstrate that the quantum efficiency is robust with respect to the macroscopicity parameter h solely.
The ratio of macroscopicity over the pigment-pigment interaction energy can be considered as a parameter that may control the energy transfer efficiency at a given time.
