Join us to hear from Jonathan Hood about his research at Purdue University!

Abstract: Organic molecules such as dibenzoterrylene (DBT) are exceptional quantum emitters, producing lifetime-limited photons at cryogenic temperatures below 3 K. We observe the superradiant and subradiant states of a pair of molecules tuned into resonance. A significant challenge for organic emitters has been their integration with nanophotonics. Here, we demonstrate a hybrid approach for the integration of DBT emitters with high-Q photonic crystal cavities, achieving coupling efficiencies (β) of 40%. Finally, we discuss progress towards a hybrid quantum network with organic emitters and ultracold atoms. We investigate the cesium 6S-5D transition (120 kHz), demonstrating narrow-line cooling, background-free imaging, and orbital angular momentum selection rules.
