Subradiance-protected excitation transport
We explore excitation transport within a one-dimensional chain of atoms where the atomic
transition dipoles are coupled to the free radiation field. When the atoms are separated by …

Superradiance and subradiance due to quantum interference of entangled free electrons
When multiple quantum emitters radiate, their emission rate may be enhanced or
suppressed due to collective interference in a process known as super-or subradiance …

Determining the validity of cumulant expansions for central spin models
For a model with many-to-one connectivity it is widely expected that mean-field theory
captures the exact many-particle N→∞ limit, and that higher-order cumulant expansions of …

Modified dipole-dipole interactions in the presence of a nanophotonic waveguide
When an emitter ensemble interacts with the electromagnetic field, dipole-dipole interactions
are induced between the emitters. The magnitude and shape of these interactions are fully …

Atom recoil during coherent light scattering from many atoms
F Robicheaux, S Huang - Physical Review A, 2019 - APS
The recoil momentum and energy of ultracold atoms is studied for situations where collective

Cooperative spontaneous emission from indistinguishable atoms in arbitrary motional quantum states
We investigate superradiance and subradiance of indistinguishable atoms with quantized
motional states, starting with an initial total state that factorizes over the internal and external …
