Energy transfer driven brightening of MoS by ultrafast polariton relaxation in microcavity MoS/hBN/WS heterostructures.

Energy transfer is a ubiquitous phenomenon that delivers energy from a blue-shifted emitter to a red-shifted absorber, facilitating wide photonic applications. Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors provide unique opportunities for exploring novel energy transfer mechanisms in the atomic-scale limit. Herein, we have designed a planar optical microcavity-confined MoS/hBN/WS heterojunction, which realizes the strong coupling among donor exciton, acceptor exciton, and cavity photon mode.

Limit cycles and chaos in the hybrid atom-optomechanics system.

We consider atoms in two different periodic potentials induced by different lasers, one of which is coupled to a mechanical membrane via radiation pressure force. The atoms are intrinsically two-level systems that can absorb or emit photons, but the dynamics of their position and momentum are treated classically. On the other hand, the membrane, the cavity field, and the intrinsic two-level atoms are treated quantum mechanically.

Electric Field Modulation of 2D Perovskite Excitonics.

Multiquantum-well (MQW) perovskite is one of the forerunners in high-efficiency perovskite LED (PeLEDs) research. Despite the rapid inroads, PeLEDs suffer from the pertinent issue of efficiency decrease with increasing brightness, commonly known as "efficiency roll-off". The underlying mechanisms are presently an open question.

Creating and concentrating quantum resource states in noisy environments using a quantum neural network.

Quantum information processing tasks require exotic quantum states as a prerequisite. They are usually prepared with many different methods tailored to the specific resource state. Here we provide a versatile unified state preparation scheme based on a driven quantum network composed of randomly-coupled fermionic nodes.

Revealing Nonclassicality of Inaccessible Objects.

Some physical objects are hardly accessible to direct experimentation. It is then desirable to infer their properties based solely on the interactions they have with systems over which we have control. In this spirit, here we introduce schemes for assessing the nonclassicality of the inaccessible objects as characterized by quantum discord.
