The cursed destructive interference - TS09

This is the ninth tutorial of the series. In the last tutorial we observed speed-ups in emission and excitation transfer rates as a result of the delocalisation of excitations across many two level systems. We understood these rate accelerations to be a result of the constructive interference of many quantum pathways.

In this tutorial, we’ll look at the other side of the coin - destructive interference. We’ll see where it comes from, how it manifests in our quantum system and discuss what options are available for controlling/removing it.
