Directionality between driven-dissipative resonators

Abstract The notion of nonreciprocity, in essence when going forwards is different from backwards, emerges all branches physics cosmology to electromagnetism. Intriguingly, the breakdown reciprocity typically associated with extraordinary phenomena, which may be readily capitalized on design (for example) nontrivial electromagnetic devices Lorentz broken. However, order enable exploitation nonreciprocal-like effects next generation quantum technologies, basic optical theories are required. Here we present a versatile model describing pair driven-dissipative resonators, where relative phase difference between coherent and incoherent couplings induces an asymmetry. interplay diverse dissipative landscape —which encompasses both intrinsic losses couplings— interactions leads some remarkable consequences including highly directional (or even one-way) energy transport. Our work proffers tantalizing prospect observing dissipation-induced directionality areas like photonics or cavity magnonics (spin waves), aid unconventional nanoscopic devices.
