Strong coupling between plasmon modes and chlorins in synthetic light-harvesting maquette proteins yields hybrid light-matter states (plexcitons) whose energies are controlled by design of protein structure, enabling the creation of new states not seen under weak coupling.

AbstractUnder nonequilibrium conditions, quantum optical systems reveal unusual properties that might be distinct from those in condensed matter. The fundamental reason is that photonic eigenstates can have arbitrary occupation numbers, whereas in electronic systems these are limited by the Pauli principle. Here, we address the steady-state transport of pseudothermal photons between two waveguides connected through a cavity with Bose–Hubbard interaction between photons. One of the waveguides is subjected to a broadband incoherent pumping. We predict a continuous transition between the regimes of Lorentzian and Gaussian chaotic light emitted by the cavity. The rich variety of nonequilibrium transport regimes is revealed by the zero-frequency noise. There are three limiting cases, in which the noise-current relation is characterized by a power-law, $$S\propto J^\gamma$$ S ∝ J γ . The Lorentzian light corresponds to Breit-Wigner-like transmission and $$\gamma =2$$ γ = 2 . The Gaussian regime corresponds to many-body transport with the shot noise ($$\gamma =1$$ γ = 1 ) at large currents; at low currents, however, we find an unconventional exponent $$\gamma =3/2$$ γ = 3 / 2 indicating a nontrivial interplay between multi-photon transitions and incoherent pumping. The nonperturbative solution for photon dephasing is obtained in the framework of the Keldysh field theory and Caldeira-Leggett effective action. These findings might be relevant for experiments on photon blockade in superconducting qubits, thermal states transfer, and photon statistics probing.

Two Phases

In this paper, we use Parisi and Sourlas dimensional reduction to show that QED has two phases, the strong coupling phase and weak coupling phase. Because chiral symmetry is spontaneously broken, particles with fractional charges are confined in the strong coupling phase by the condensation of topological configurations, and particles with integer charges are screened by fermion pairs.

The Difference

Multi-Physics CFD Simulation will be one of key technologies in various engineering fields. There are two strategies to simulate a multi-physics phenomenon. One is “Strong Coupling”, and the other is “Weak Coupling”. Each can be employed, based on time-scales of physics embedded in a problem. That is, when a time-scale of one physics is nearly same as that of the other physics, we have to use Strong Coupling to take into account the interaction between two physics. On the other hand, when one time-scale is quite different from the other one, Weak Coupling can be applied. Considering the present computer performance, Strong Coupling is difficult to be used in engineering design processes now. Therefore, we are focusing on Weak Coupling, and it has been applied to a number of multi-physics CFD simulations in engineering. We have successfully simulated sand erosion, ice accretion, particle deposition, electro-chemical machining and so on, with using Weak Coupling method. In the present study, the difference between strong and weak couplings is briefly described, and two examples of our multi-physics CFD simulations are expressed. The numerical results indicate that Weak Coupling strategy is promising in a lot of multi-physics CFD simulations.

We present ongoing investigations of a four-dimensional lattice field theory with four massless reduced staggered fermions coupled through an SU(4)-invariant fourfermion interaction. As in previous studies of four-fermion and Higgs–Yukawa models with different lattice fermion discretizations, we observe a strong-coupling phase in which the system develops a mass gap without breaking any lattice symmetry. This symmetric strong-coupling phase is separated from the symmetric weak-coupling phase by a narrow region of four-fermi coupling in which the system exhibits long-range correlations.

Two coupling schemes for fluid-structure interaction using the OpenFOAM structural solver sixDoF Rigid Body Motion are developed. The first scheme is developed by modifying the baseline leapfrog weak coupling scheme to minimize the lag between the fluid and structural solvers. The second is a strong coupling scheme based on the Crank-Nicolson method. The two newly implemented schemes and the baseline are compared through the aeroelastic simulation of a NACA 64A010 airfoil and the Benchmark Supercritical Wing. The aeroelastic solutions obtained using the newly implemented schemes exhibit significantly lower sensitivity to changes in time step size compared to the baseline weak coupling scheme. The modified weak coupling and strong coupling schemes perform comparably for the cases studied.
