Bio-inspired quantum energy harvesting with collective light-matter effects
Abstract
Networks of interacting molecular optical dipoles play an important role in photosynthetic light harvesting, and also hold significant promise for future artificial technologies. This manuscript gives a brief overview of questions addressed by (our) recent theoretical work with a focus on taking inspiration from biological structures and processes to come up with designs for utilising bio-inspired collective quantum optical effects. These could, for instance, enable quantum-enhanced light harvesting, the charging of Dicke quantum batteries through superabsorption of light, and achieving efficient long-range energy transport. Particular attention is given to the role of inter-emitter quantum coherence as an enabler of these effects.
