Superradiant and Subradiant States in Lifetime-Limited Organic Molecules

Explore groundbreaking research in quantum optics through this physics lecture that delves into the creation of superradiant and subradiant entangled states in organic molecules. Learn about the innovative approach to positioning and tuning multiple lifetime-limited emitters into resonance, focusing on molecules embedded as defects in organic nanocrystals. Discover how pump light redistributes charges in nanocrystals to increase the likelihood of resonant molecules, and understand the quantum model explaining frequency spectra, lifetimes, and second-order correlation. Presented by Assistant Professor Jonathan Hood from Purdue University, whose expertise spans quantum optics with cryogenic organic molecules and many-body physics with ultracold laser-cooled molecules, examine the potential applications of this scalable tuning approach for observing collective quantum phenomena in sub-wavelength arrays of quantum emitters.
