Probabilities of excitation vs time t for SRs (a1∼a2) and NVEs (b1∼b2) in the ideal case, where the thin blue dotted-dashed, thin black solid, and thin red dashed lines correspond to the probabilities of excitation in the left, middle and right SRs (NVEs) in the three-site case respectively, and the thick green dashed, thick orange dotted lines represent the probabilities of excitation in the left and right SRs (NVEs) in the two-site case. We employ the parameters δB/2π = 80 MHz,  MHz, κ/2π = 0, γhom/2π = 0 and
 MHz in (a1,b1),
 MHz in (a2,b2). Due to symmetry of the dynamics, the thin blue dotted-dashed line and the thin red dashed line are overlapping in each panel.
