About the project
Can we build a controllable quantum system that reproduces the behaviour of another quantum system that is far harder to access experimentally? This project will develop engineered quantum-photonic environments as analogue simulators of complex open quantum systems, enabling experimentally controlled studies of decoherence, quantum transport, memory effects and coherence preservation.
Many quantum systems interact strongly with structured environments, making their dynamics difficult to calculate and even harder to probe experimentally. This project takes a different approach: rather than modelling a complex target system only through direct computation, you will engineer a simpler quantum-photonic platform whose interactions and environmental spectral properties reproduce selected features of the target system.
You will develop theoretical and computational frameworks for quantum emitters coupled to structured photonic reservoirs. Photonic crystals, hyperuniform and correlated disordered structures, coupled resonators and other engineered electromagnetic environments will be used to control the photonic density of states, spectral correlations, localisation and emitter-reservoir coupling. The aim is to establish mappings between target quantum dynamics and experimentally controllable photonic architectures.
Particular emphasis will be placed on open quantum systems beyond conventional Markovian descriptions, where memory effects and information backflow can qualitatively change quantum evolution. Target systems will include excitation transport and long-lived coherence in complex molecular and quantum-biological systems, many-body quantum systems with structured dissipation, and system-environment dynamics relevant to decoherence and quantum measurement. The goal is to reproduce selected spectral densities, correlations and coupling mechanisms in a controllable photonic platform.
Large-scale electromagnetic simulations will be combined with open quantum-system theory to connect realistic nanophotonic structures directly to quantum dynamics. Selected simulator architectures will be developed in collaboration with experimental researchers working on quantum emitters and integrated photonic platforms, providing a route from theoretical design to experimentally accessible tabletop quantum simulators.
The research programme will focus on:
• developing engineered quantum-photonic systems that reproduce the spectral and dynamical properties of complex open quantum environments
• establishing mappings between target systems - including quantum-biological, many-body and decoherence models - and experimentally controllable photonic reservoir architectures
• investigating decoherence, non-Markovian dynamics, information backflow, quantum transport and coherence preservation
• designing periodic, hyperuniform and correlated disordered reservoirs, and work with experimental collaborators to realise and characterise selected quantum-simulator architectures
