Emitter dephasing is one of the key issues in the performance of solid-state single-photon sources. Among the various sources of dephasing, acoustic phonons play a central role in adding decoherence to the single-photon emission. Here, we demonstrate that it is possible to tune and engineer the coherence of photons emitted from a single WSe_{2} monolayer quantum dot via selectively coupling it to a spectral cavity resonance. We utilize an open cavity to demonstrate spectral enhancement, leveling, and suppression of the highly asymmetric phonon sideband, finding excellent agreement with a microscopic description of the exciton-phonon dephasing in a truly two-dimensional system. Moreover, the impact of cavity tuning on the dephasing is directly assessed via optical interferometry, which points out the capability to utilize light-matter coupling to steer and design dephasing and coherence of quantum emitters in atomically thin crystals.

Exciton-polariton condensates, due to their nonlinear and coherent characteristics, have been employed to construct spin Hamiltonian lattices for potentially studying spin glass, critical dephasing, and even solving optimization problems. Here, we report the room-temperature polariton condensation and polaritonic soft-spin XY Hamiltonian lattices in an organic-inorganic halide perovskite microcavity. This is achieved through the direct integration of high-quality single-crystal samples within the cavity.

Donor-bridge-acceptor complexes (D-B-A) are important model systems for understanding of light-induced processes. Here, we apply two-color two-dimensional infrared (2D-IR) spectroscopy to D-B-A complexes with a -Pt(II) acetylide bridge (D-C≡C-Pt-C≡C-A) to uncover the mechanism of vibrational energy redistribution (IVR). Site-selective C isotopic labeling of the bridge is used to decouple the acetylide modes positioned on either side of the Pt-center.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on hybrid organic-inorganic semiconductors that can be fine-tuned to manipulate electron-phonon interactions for various applications in electronics and quantum materials.
- - The researchers discovered that lead organic chalcogenides (LOCs) display long-lived coherent phonons with remarkable harmonic behavior, leading to better phonon manipulation compared to traditional halide perovskites.
- - The findings suggest that the phonon dephasing time in LOCs can be adjusted through designing organic ligands, paving the way for advancements in controlling electronic properties in hybrid semiconductors.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers have developed approximate methods to study exciton transport in molecular aggregates influenced by structured environments, moving beyond basic models that often become complex and hard to manage.
- They introduced a self-consistent Born approximation to better accommodate exciton-environment interactions and improve calculations of energy transfer dynamics in these systems.
- Their findings indicate that this new approach aligns well with more comprehensive models across various conditions, suggesting it effectively describes exciton behavior even in complex scenarios like the Fenna-Matthews-Olson complex.

Retinal protonated Schiff base (RPSB), found in its all-trans conformer in Bacteriorhodopsin, undergoes barrier-controlled isomerization upon photoabsorption through polyene chain torsion. The effects of the protein environment on the active vibrations during photoabsorption and their redistribution are still not understood. This paper reports on femtosecond time-resolved action-absorption measurements of cryogenically cooled gas-phase all-trans RPSB, which exhibit two coherent vibrational oscillations, 167(14) cm and 117(1) cm , of the first excited state with dephasing times of ps.
