The concept of chiral interactions has been intensively studied in various fields involving diverse scales of objects, e.g., nucleons, amino acids, and liquid crystals. One of the key problems is how chiral interactions induce synchronization effects among initially uncorrelated objects. In this study, we propose a model of chirality-selective synchronized fluorescence (superfluorescence) that involves spirally configured quantum emitters at the center of a spirally stacked metal nanostructure. The emitters mutually develop the correlation in time by repeatedly exchanging the radiated photons, which experience the chirality of their environment. We numerically show that the peak fluorescent intensity strongly depends on whether or not the chiralities of the emitters and the metals match, even though the localized surface plasmon decays sufficiently at the positions of the emitters. Our model of chirality-selective superfluorescence will provide an alternative tool for analyzing chiral interactions in synchronization processes.
