The transport of quantum states without loss of "coherence" is extremely important for realizing quantum information systems. Quantum effects have been demonstrated in exotic systems, such as cold atoms suspended in magnetic fields, but these systems are extremely challenging to realise. In this work we will translate this work into the chemical domain, using thin films of "J-aggregates". These J-aggregates are quantum many-body systems characterized by the sharing of excitonic states over two or more molecules. This novel organic quantum soft-matter platform can confine the light at the nanoscale taking the advantages of supramolecular chemistry to design properties on demand.
Plasmonic materials are well stablished and used in fields like biomedicine or energy harvesting due to their exceptional optical properties. One of the most interesting characteristics of plasmonic nanoparticles is their ability to confine light at the nanoscale. Nevertheless, such behaviour can also be found in some non-metallic materials as in organic-excitonic materials based on J-aggregates. Herein, we evaluate the synthetic route to obtain colloidal dispersions of excitonic core-shell nanoparticles that can mimicking plasmonic behaviour.
