The collective spontaneous emission of a fully inverted inhomogeneously broadened ensemble of N two-level systems coupled to a single-mode low-Q cavity is investigated numerically using Monte Carlo wave function technique. An intrinsically bi-exponential emission dynamics is found when the time scales of superradiance tau(sr) and inhomogeneous dephasing T2* approximately 1/Deltaomega(inh) become comparable: a fast superradiant is followed by a slow subradiant decay. Experimental configurations using ensembles of quantum dots coupled to optical microcavities are proposed as possible candidates to observe the combined superradiant and subradiant energy relaxation.

The proton bond is a pivotal chemical motif in many areas of science and technology. Its quantum chemical description is remarkably challenged by nuclear and charge delocalization effects and the fluxional perturbation that it induces on molecular substrates. This work seeks insights into proton bonding at sub-kelvin temperatures.

Significant debate surrounds the origin of nonlinear optical responses from cavity-coupled molecular vibrations. Several groups, including our own, have previously assigned portions of the nonlinear response to polariton excited-state transitions. Here, we report a new method to approximate two-dimensional infrared spectra under vibrational strong coupling, which properly accounts for inhomogeneous broadening.

Guided exciton-polariton modes naturally exist in bare transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) layers due to self-hybridization between excitons and photons. However, these guided polariton modes exhibit a limited propagation distance owing to the substantial exciton absorption within the material. Here, we investigated the impact of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) layers on guided exciton-polariton modes in WS multilayers.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how triterpenoids betulin (BE) and betulinic acid (BA) influence the behavior and packing of pulmonary surfactant membranes, particularly focusing on their effects on dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) bilayers using various scientific methods.
- - Findings indicate that BE has a more significant impact on DPPC than BA; BE at 20 mol% causes changes in phase transitions, while BA at lower concentrations decreases the main transition temperature and disrupts the pretransition entirely.
- - Both triterpenoids enhance lateral mobility and dehydration in DPPC structures, leading to larger liposomes and changed molecular interactions, demonstrated by hydrogen bonding between the triterpenoids and
