contents We explore the dynamics of energy transfer between two nanocrystal quantum dots placed within an optical microcavity. By adjusting the coupling strength between the cavity photon mode and the quantum dots, we have the capacity to fine-tune the effective coupling between the donor and acceptor. Introducing a nonadiabatic parameter, $γ$, governed by the coupling to the cavity mode, we demonstrate the system's capability to shift from the overdamped Forster regime ($γ\ll 1$) to an underdamped coherent regime ($γ\gg 1$). In the latter regime, characterized by swift energy transfer rates, the dynamics are influenced by decoherence times. To illustrate this, we study the exciton energy transfer dynamics between two closely positioned CdSe/CdS core/shell quantum dots with sizes and separations relevant to experimental conditions. Employing an atomistic approach, we calculate the excitonic level arrangement, exciton-phonon interactions, and transition dipole moments of the quantum dots within the microcavity. These parameters are then utilized to define a model Hamiltonian. Subsequently, we apply a generalized non-Markovian quantum Redfield equation to delineate the dynamics within the polaritonic framework.
