| contents | The unique properties of two-dimensional moire systems have been widely studied from many perspectives. However, relatively little work has explored how the real space structure of the moire systems can directly engender novel properties and functionalities. In this work, we exploit the feature that moire excitons naturally form an ordered superlattice with a lattice constant comparable to the wavelength of the resonant light, which enables intriguing cooperative optical responses. Particularly, we show that the collective moire exciton states can have either strongly enhanced (superradiant) or suppressed (subradiant) radiative decay rate, depending on their in-plane wavevector. These super- and subradiant states can be efficiently switched by a gate-induced electric field gradient. Moreover, the cooperative transmittance $T$ of the nanometer-thick moire system can be switched from $T \approx 0$ (opaque) to $T \approx 1$ (transparent) with less than $2~\%$ heterostrain or a $1^{\circ}$ adjustment in the twist angle $θ$. These features are robust against non-radiative losses and inhomogeneity, making the moire system a highly versatile platform for cooperative quantum optics with potential applications in e.g., single photon storage and switching. |
