Cooperative optical effects are enabled and controlled by interactions between molecular dipoles, meaning that their mutual orientation is of paramount importance to, for example, superabsorbing light-harvesting antennas. Here we show how to move beyond the possibilities of simple geometric tailoring, demonstrating how a metallic sphere placed within a ring of parallel dipoles engineers an effective Hamiltonian that generates “guide-sliding” states within the ring system. This allows steady-state superabsorption in noisy room temperature environments, outperforming previous designs while being significantly simpler to implement. As exemplified by this showcase, our approach represents a powerful design paradigm for tailoring cooperative light-matter effects in molecular structures that extends beyond superabsorbing systems to a huge array of quantum energy transport systems.

用于增强协同轻-物质相互作用的工程偶极子-偶极子耦合


通过分子偶极子之间的相互作用实现和控制协同光学效应，这意味着它们的相互取向对于超吸收光捕获天线等至关重要。在这里，我们展示了如何超越简单几何定制的可能性，展示了放置在平行偶极子环内的金属球体如何设计出有效的哈密顿量，从而在环系统内产生“导向滑动”状态。这允许在嘈杂的室温环境中实现稳态超级吸收，性能优于以前的设计，同时实现起来明显更简单。正如这个展示所展示的那样，我们的方法代表了一种强大的设计范式，用于在分子结构中定制协作光-物质效应，从超吸收系统延伸到大量的量子能量传输系统。 美国物理学会 2025 年出版
