Open quantum systems with local and collective incoherent processes: Efficient numerical simulations using permutational invariance

N Shammah, S Ahmed, N Lambert, S De Liberato… - Physical Review A, 2018 - APS
The permutational invariance of identical two-level systems allows for an exponential
reduction in the computational resources required to study the Lindblad dynamics of …

Subradiance-protected excitation transport

JA Needham, I Lesanovsky, B Olmos - New Journal of Physics, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
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

A Karnieli, N Rivera, A Arie, I Kaminer - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
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 …

Light scattering from dense cold atomic media

B Zhu, J Cooper, J Ye, AM Rey - Physical Review A, 2016 - APS
We theoretically study the propagation of light through a cold atomic medium, where the
effects of motion, laser intensity, atomic density, and polarization can all modify the …

Determining the validity of cumulant expansions for central spin models

P Fowler-Wright, KB Arnardóttir, P Kirton, BW Lovett… - Physical Review …, 2023 - APS
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

MBM Svendsen, B Olmos - Quantum, 2023 - quantum-journal.org
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 …

Synchronization dynamics in a designed open system

N Yokoshi, K Odagiri, A Ishikawa, H Ishihara - Physical Review Letters, 2017 - APS
We theoretically propose a unifying expression for synchronization dynamics between two-
level constituents. Although synchronization phenomena require some substantial …

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
scattering or emission of photons is important. Effects due to the dipole-dipole interaction are …

Cooperative spontaneous emission from indistinguishable atoms in arbitrary motional quantum states

F Damanet, D Braun, J Martin - Physical Review A, 2016 - APS
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 …

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