Efficient Multipartite Energy Transfer Based on Strongly Coupled Topological Cavities

Efficient and robust energy transfer is fundamental to quantum information processing and light-harvesting technologies. However, conventional systems are often limited by short interaction ranges and high susceptibility to environmental disorder. In this study, we propose and theoretically investigate a topologically protected tripartite energy transfer system based on photonic crystal nanocavities. By utilizing topological corner states as localized interaction nodes and edge states as robust transmission channels, we construct a platform that mediates energy exchange among three distinct quantum emitters. Using the Lindblad master equation formalism, we analyze the spectral dependence of coupling strengths and transfer dynamics. Our results demonstrate that coherent coupling between nearest neighbors is the dominant mechanism driving high-efficiency transport, whereas next-nearest-neighbor interactions can induce destructive interference. Furthermore, compared to bipartite systems, the tripartite configuration exhibits an enhanced cumulative probability for charge separation. Crucially, numerical simulations confirm that the energy transfer efficiency and time remain virtually unaffected by random structural disorder or sharp interface bends, unequivocally validating the topological protection of the system. These findings establish a robust blueprint for scalable quantum interconnects and integrated photonic circuitry.
