Cooperative spontaneous emission of atoms: Many-body eigenstates, the effect of virtual Lamb shift processes, and analogy with radiation of classical oscillators

AA Svidzinsky, JT Chang, MO Scully - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular …, 2010 - APS
We consider collective emission of a single photon from a cloud of N two-level atoms (one
excited, N-1 ground state). For a dense cloud the problem is reduced to finding …

Light interacting with atomic ensembles: collective, cooperative and mesoscopic effects

W Guerin, MT Rouabah, R Kaiser - Journal of Modern Optics, 2017 - Taylor & Francis
Cooperative scattering has been the subject of intense research in the last years. In this
article, we discuss the concept of cooperative scattering from a broad perspective. We briefly …

Many-body subradiant excitations in metamaterial arrays: Experiment and theory

SD Jenkins, J Ruostekoski, N Papasimakis, S Savo… - Physical Review Letters, 2017 - APS
Subradiant excitations, originally predicted by Dicke, have posed a long-standing challenge
in physics owing to their weak radiative coupling to environment. Here we engineer massive …

Dynamical Evolution of Correlated Spontaneous Emission of a Single Photon <?format ?>from a Uniformly Excited Cloud of Atoms

AA Svidzinsky, JT Chang, MO Scully - Physical review letters, 2008 - APS
We study the correlated spontaneous emission from a dense spherical cloud of N atoms
uniformly excited by absorption of a single photon. We find that the decay of such a state …

Cooperativity in light scattering by cold atoms

T Bienaimé, R Bachelard, N Piovella… - Fortschritte der …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
A cloud of cold N two‐level atoms driven by a resonant laser beam shows cooperative
effects both in the scattered radiation field and in the radiation pressure force acting on the …

Subradiance and radiation trap** in cold atoms

P Weiss, MO Araújo, R Kaiser… - New Journal of Physics, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We experimentally and numerically study the temporal dynamics of light scattered by large
clouds of cold atoms after the exciting laser is switched off, in the low intensity (linear-optics) …

Cooperative spontaneous emission as a many-body eigenvalue problem

A Svidzinsky, JT Chang - Physical Review A—Atomic, Molecular, and Optical …, 2008 - APS
We study emission of a single photon from a spherically symmetric cloud of N atoms (one
atom is excited; N− 1 are in the ground state) and present an exact analytical expression for …

Emission of one photon in an electric dipole transition of one among N atoms

JH Eberly - Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical …, 2006 - iopscience.iop.org
The scenario described by the title can be called subradiant emission from a collection of N
independent atoms, since only one of N atoms is supposed to be excited. We examine this …

Undamped Rabi oscillations due to polaron-emitter hybrid states in a nonlinear photonic waveguide coupled to emitters

J Talukdar, D Blume - Physical Review A, 2022 - APS
The collective dynamics of two noninteracting two-level emitters, which are coupled to a
structured wave guide that supports two-photon bound states, is investigated. Tuning the …

Collective multimode vacuum Rabi splitting

W Guerin, TSE Santo, P Weiss, A Cipris… - Physical Review Letters, 2019 - APS
We report the experimental observation of collective multimode vacuum Rabi splitting in free
space. In contrast to optical cavities, the atoms couple to a continuum of modes, and the …
