- Abstract: Cooperative effects of multiple quantum emitters are characterized by transitions via delocalized collective states with altered emission properties due to the existence of inter-emitter coherences. When realized with excitonic condensed matter nanostructures, these effects are significantly affected by the presence of strong emitter-phonon coupling, which leads to the formation of polarons. We show that, while for single-emitter emission into free space this formation has no impact on its radiative lifetime, the same is not true for superradiant emission. Considering the case of two indistinguishable quantum emitters, we analyse how polaron dressing affects collective photon emission by mixing bright and dark Dicke states. Our numerical simulations show that this mixing crucially depends on the circumstances of the excitation of the system: Depending on the pulse length of an exciting laser, one can choose to either prepare polaronic Dicke states, or bare electronic Dicke states, changing the superradiant decay characteristics of the system. Additionally, we derive analytic expressions for these limiting cases, which match the results of numerically exact calculations.

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.

Our findings lead to the prediction that single-photon collective emissions can be strongly suppressed if the number of excited emitters is much less than the total number of emitters in the system.

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.
