Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to designing dyes and methods to alter the parameters controlling the dipole-dipole coupling of dyes bound to a nucleotide oligomer architecture, which are used to propagate excitons for use in next generation room temperature quantum information systems. The disclosed dyes and methods are directed to changing the dye stability, symmetry, overlap, and steric hindrance of the dyes to fine tune aggregate systems.
Claims40
A method of engineering parameter J of one or more dyes within one or more dye aggregates or between two or more dye aggregates, comprising:
- tuning the distance between dyes and/or dye to dye intermolecular interactions.
A method of engineering parameter K of one or more dyes within one or more dye aggregates, comprising:
- tuning the symmetry of one or more dyes within the dye aggregates.
A method of engineering parameter Jct of two or more dyes within one or more dye aggregates, comprising:
- tuning the steric hindrance between the two or more dyes.
A dye aggregate for use in quantum information systems, comprising:
- two or more dyes having a dipole-dipole coupling.
