Manipulating molecular junctions using quantum light
We seek to study linear and nonlinear responses of molecular junctions to external stimuli using quantum light characterized by entangled photons. Molecular junctions have potential applications in molecule based electronics and have been shown to be useful for developing several molecular devices. One of the hallmarks of quantum systems is to exhibit quantum coherence which can be controlled externally. Entangled photons create new-types of coherences and manipulate electrical and optical response which has been shown to be useful in revealing several dynamical quantum features in molecules that are not possible to capture with classical light. These coherences may also be important in controlling transport in molecular junctions. We propose to develop a theoretical framework to control transport in molecular junctions using quantum light.
