Many-body signatures of collective decay in atomic chains

SJ Masson, I Ferrier-Barbut, LA Orozco, A Browaeys… - Physical review …, 2020 - APS
Fully inverted atoms placed at exactly the same location synchronize as they deexcite, and
light is emitted in a burst (known as “Dicke's superradiance”). We investigate the role of finite …

Superradiant and subradiant cavity scattering by atom arrays

Z Yan, J Ho, YH Lu, SJ Masson, A Asenjo-Garcia… - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
We realize collective enhancement and suppression of light scattered by an array of tweezer-
trapped Rb 87 atoms positioned within a strongly coupled Fabry-Pérot optical cavity. We …

Atomic-waveguide quantum electrodynamics

SJ Masson, A Asenjo-Garcia - Physical Review Research, 2020 - APS
Atom arrays are a new type of quantum light-matter interface. Here we propose to employ
one-dimensional ordered arrays as atomic waveguides. These arrays support optical guided …

Many-body superradiance and dynamical mirror symmetry breaking in waveguide QED

S Cardenas-Lopez, SJ Masson, Z Zager… - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
The many-body decay of extended collections of two-level systems remains an open
problem. Here, we investigate whether an array of emitters coupled to a one-dimensional …

Superradiance in ultracold Rydberg gases

T Wang, SF Yelin, R Côté, EE Eyler, SM Farooqi… - Physical Review A …, 2007 - APS
Experiments in dense, ultracold gases of rubidium Rydberg atoms show a considerable
decrease of the radiative excited state lifetimes compared to dilute gases. This accelerated …

Nanoscale continuous quantum light sources based on driven dipole emitter arrays

R Holzinger, M Moreno-Cardoner, H Ritsch - Applied Physics Letters, 2021 - pubs.aip.org
Regular arrays of two-level emitters at distances smaller than that of the transition
wavelength collectively scatter, absorb, and emit photons. The strong inter-particle dipole …

Dicke-like superradiance of distant noninteracting atoms

M Bojer, J von Zanthier - Physical Review A, 2022 - APS
Fully excited two-level atoms separated by less than the transition wavelength cooperatively
emit light in a short burst, a phenomenon called superradiance by R. Dicke in 1954 [Phys …

Cooperative enhancement of channeling of emission from atoms into a nanofiber

FL Kien, K Hakuta - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and Optical …, 2008 - APS
We show the possibility of directional guided superradiance from a linear array of distant
atoms separated by one or several wavelengths in a line parallel to the axis of a nanofiber …

Competition between finite-size effects and dipole–dipole interactions in few-atom systems

F Damanet, J Martin - Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
In this paper, we study the competition between finite-size effects (ie discernibility of
particles) and dipole–dipole interactions in few-atom systems coupled to the …

Correlations between photons emitted by multiatom fluorescence into a nanofiber

F Le Kien, K Hakuta - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and Optical …, 2008 - APS
We develop a systematic formalism to calculate the correlation functions of fluorescence
from a multiatom system into guided modes of a nanofiber. We find that, in the case of a …
