Quantum Dynamics and Analysis of Energy Transport of a Dynamicaly Disordered Polaritonic Wire

Exciton-polaritons are quasiparticles that are a blend of matter excitons and confined photons, giving them many of the desired properties of both, including the matter-like non-linear interactions necessary for realizing efficient optical gates and the photon-induced enhancement of the speed of energy transport. This enhancement of energy transport relative to bare excitons has been experimentally demonstrated, establishing polaritonic systems as a potential platform for applications ranging from quantum information technology to efficient energy harvesting. In this talk, we probe the limits of this polariton-induced energy transport enhancement via quantum dynamics simulations and detailed mathematical analysis of a polaritonic wire in the presence of time-dependent disorder. By implementing controlled random-modulation protocols as sequences of quantum quenches, we provide new insights into how the interplay of polariton dephasing, reservoir-mediated population relaxation, and Anderson localization suppresses ballistic transport in polaritonic systems. These findings provide a new perspective into the robustness and tunability of polaritonic energy transport, paving the way for the design of advanced materials in quantum technologies and sustainable energy solutions.
