• Abstract: The Swing-UP of quantum EmitteR population (SUPER) scheme has recently been proposed as a deterministic method for the preparation of collective radiative states in two strongly dipole-coupled quantum emitters (Phys. Rev. Res. \textbf{8}, 013179 (2026)). Here, we extend this approach to an equilateral subwavelength triangular trimer of dipole-coupled two-level quantum emitters (QEs), loosely inspired by biological light-harvesting ring geometries. Using tailored, time-overlapping, red-detuned ultrashort SUPER pulses, we numerically investigate the selective preparation of collective target states. We find that both the state selectivity and the preparation efficiency depend strongly on the inter-emitter spacing. In particular, at deep-subwavelength separations, the symmetric collective state can be deterministically prepared with near-unity efficiency, whereas the inversion efficiency and state selectivity are significantly lower at larger inter-emitter separations. Furthermore, this state preparation technique inherits a certain degree of robustness against reasonable static position imperfections and on-site frequency inhomogeneities of the individual QEs. Our results demonstrate that deep-subwavelength triangular trimers and, more broadly, highly compact ring geometries are excellent candidates for the deterministic preparation of collective radiative states via SUPER excitation. These predictions could be realized with solid-state emitters and molecules. Our findings offer a route toward the direct probing of the `pure' electromagnetic layer of interaction in biological and bio-inspired synthetic nanophotonic ring configurations, with possible relevance in photonics, quantum information processing, and metrology.
