Vibrational Energy Transfer Through Molecular Chains: An Approach Toward Scalable Information Processing

Enabling multiple intercavity polariton coherences by adding quantum confinement to cavity molecular polaritons

“…The molecular vibrational polariton-based qubits is a potential platform for quantum simulation with several advantages, such as operating at ambient temperature, ease of tunability of cavities, intrinsic systems for quantum light molecular spectroscopy, and the customizable “designer” vibrational chromophores ( 35 – 37 ). Although similar efforts have been made on exciton polaritons, the single qubit property of the FP cavity has limited the scalability of molecular vibrational polaritons for advancing quantum simulation ( 34 ).…”

Local rectification of heat flux

“…On the experimental side, one dimensional chains of neutral atoms in optical lattices can be implemented with cold atoms [26]. An impurity with different internal structure would be affected by a different on-site potential imprinted by a holographic mask [27], and asymmetrical interatomic interactions could be implemented by trapping a controllable polar molecule or mediated by atoms in parallel lattices [28]. * * * We are indebted to G. Casati for raising our attention to thermal rectification and for providing information on his work.…”
