cold atoms with high quality, efficiency, and thermal stability. We developed design and …

Generation of maximally entangled long-lived states with giant atoms in a waveguide

AC Santos, R Bachelard - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS

atoms with photon-mediated interactions in a waveguide. Taking advantage of the …

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 …

Quantum nonlinear optics based on two-dimensional Rydberg atom arrays

Many-body localization in waveguide quantum electrodynamics

N Fayard, L Henriet, A Asenjo-Garcia, DE Chang - Physical Review Research, 2021 - APS
At the quantum many-body level, atom-light interfaces generally remain challenging to solve
for or understand in a nonperturbative fashion. Here we consider a waveguide quantum …

Subradiance with saturated atoms: population enhancement of the long-lived states

A Cipris, NA Moreira, TS do Espirito Santo, P Weiss… - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
Dipole-dipole interactions are at the origin of long-lived collective atomic states, often called
subradiant, which are explored for their potential use in novel photonic devices or in …
