  We investigate a one-dimensional quantum emitter chain where transport of
excitations and correlations takes place via nearest neighbor, dipole-dipole
interactions. In the presence of collective radiative emission, we show that a
phase imprinting wavepacket initialization procedure can lead to subradiant
transport and can preserve quantum correlations. In the context of cavity
mediated transport, where emitters are coupled to a common delocalized optical
mode, we analyze the effect of frequency disorder and nonidentical
photon-emitter couplings on excitation transport.
