Molecular aggregates exhibit extraordinary absorption properties, depending on their geometrical conformation and inter-monomeric coupling. The narrowing of the absorption band for J-aggregates can be well described by diagonal Gaussian static disorder for individual site energies. Aggregates consisting of large molecules are usually embedded in complex environments, making it impossible to separate individual contribution to the energy fluctuations.
Recent developments in generating and trapping highly excited Rydberg atoms, allow for quantum simulations of molecular aggregates. We show that by controlling the environment, e.g. a polar background gas, non-Gaussian static disorder can be studied. We analyze how the environment generates disorder distributions with heavy tails, so called Lévy-stable distributions, and discuss novel effects in Lévy disordered systems such as broadening of the absorption bandwidth [1] as well as a subdiffusive exciton transfer.[2]
