Microwave photons trapped in a superconducting cavity constitute an ideal system to realize
some of the thought experiments imagined by the founding fathers of quantum physics. The …

The purpose of this article is to review spontaneous emission from several different
viewpoints, although a large part of it will be devoted to the quantum statistical theories of …

The counter-intuitive aspects of quantum physics have been for long illustrated by thought
experiments, from Einstein's photon box to Schrödinger's cat. These experiments have now …

quantum optics | Applied Physics Reviews | AIP Publishing Skip to Main Content Umbrella Alt …

A collection of N Rydberg atoms and a resonant millimeter-wave cavity are shown to
exchange energy back and forth at a rate 2 (d ℏ) E 0 N, where d is the electric dipole matrix …

Over 170 years ago, Sadi Carnot, a French engineer, published his famous article"
Reflections on the motive power of fire" and established a new field of science: classical …

We demonstrate a nonequilibrium phase transition in a dilute thermal atomic gas. The phase
transition, between states of low and high Rydberg occupancy, is induced by resonant …

Super-radiance: Multiatomic Coherent Emission provides a comprehensive, self-contained
account of the theory and experiments of the quantum optic phenomenon of superradiance …

We study an open quantum system of atoms with a long-range Rydberg interaction, laser
driving, and spontaneous emission. Over time, the system occasionally jumps between a …

We investigate the collective decay dynamics of atoms with a generic multilevel structure
(angular momenta F↔ F′) coupled to two light modes of different polarization inside a …
