• Abstract: We study transient information partition in a coherent exciton-phonon-photon system using subsystem-resolved quantum mutual information (QMI). By employing a model with excitonic, phononic, and photonic degrees of freedom, we analyze the dynamics in the $J$-$ν$ plane, where $J$ characterizes excitonic delocalization and $ν$ denotes the exciton-phonon coupling strength. By comparing time-averaged QMI maps with the absorbed photon number, we show that optical activity alone does not determine the character of the light-induced transient state. The exciton-centered information partition identifies a broad crossover between polariton-like and polaron-like transient responses, depending on whether excitonic information is mainly shared with the photon or phonon subsystem. In contrast, the phonon-centered partition reveals a sharper boundary-adjacent redistribution ridge near the boundary between the zero- and one-exciton ground-state sectors. This ridge is absent from both the ground-state sector map and the photon-absorption map, indicating that it is neither a static sector boundary nor an enhancement of optical absorption. A variational strength-function analysis connects the ridge to a region-II-like finite-energy polaronic excitation whose dominant spectral weight lies near the one-phonon energy, and thus the ridge represents a hidden transient correlation structure in which a limited amount of phonon-related information is preferentially shared with the photon subsystem before being predominantly allocated to exciton-phonon dressing. These results show that QMI-based information partition provides a correlation-based framework for characterizing coherent light-induced transient states in which optical and material degrees of freedom jointly participate quantum mechanically.

• 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 propose a biphoton entanglement-enhanced multidimensional spectroscopic technique as a probe for the dissipative polariton dynamics in the ultrafast regime. The proposed technique is shown to be particularly sensitive to inter-manifold polariton coherence between the two and one-excitation subspaces. It is demonstrated to be able to monitor the dynamical role of cavity-mediated excitonic correlations, and dephasing in the presence of phonon-induced dissipation.

Our findings open up new routes for realising highly non-linear optical materials and novel hybrid light-matter quantum systems.
