We make use of our theoretical toolbox (Langevin Approach to Quantum Optics with Molecules, Phys. Rev. Lett. 2019) directed at the description of light-molecule interactions in the presence of electron-vibron interactions, electron-phonon interactions, radiative loss and thermal vibrational baths. We aim at describing single and few molecule spectroscopy at the nanoscale.
These investigations have wider relevance to a variety of confined electronic systems coupled to vibrational degrees of freedom, as they can generally deal with non-adiabatic phenomena limiting the quantum efficiency of emitters embedded in solid state platforms.
With these tools, we aim at extending our analysis to many particle systems (basically to the thermodynamic limit) where light-matter interactions can lead to light-dressed materials with enhanced properties, such as energy or charge transfer / transport. These platforms will encompass more systems within the field of (quantum) opto-electronics, especially in combination with sun-power illumination (such as solid-state based sun-powered lasers). We will extend the open system dynamics formalism to the fields of photo-physics, molecular dynamics and photo-chemistry.
