From: Target decoupling in coupled systems resistant to random perturbation

Schematics of the designer state for the decoupling in coupled optical systems. Tri-atomic examples for different self-energy at the 3rd element: (a) ρ 3a and (b) ρ 3b. ρ for self-energy of each element and κ for the coupling between elements in (a,b). (c) N-atomic example for two target decoupled elements at the center (dark gray). Coupling is denoted as the line between elements, and for clarity, coupling terms only around the target elements are presented.
