Ordered atomic arrays with subwavelength lattice spacing emit light collectively. For fully
inverted atomic arrays, this results in an initial burst of radiation and a fast buildup of …

Subradiant states in a finite chain of two-level quantum emitters coupled to a one-
dimensional reservoir are a resource for superior photon storage and their controlled …

The deterministic generation of multiexcitation subradiant states proves to be challenging.
Here, we present a viable path towards their transient generation in finite-sized ordered …

Large atomic ensembles coupled to a single optical resonator mode can be steered to
strongly enhanced or suppressed collective emission via phase controlled excitation …

Atomic planar arrays offer a novel emerging quantum-optical many-body system in which
light mediates strong interactions between the atoms. The regular lattice structure provides a …

The collective modes of two-dimensional ordered atomic arrays can modify the radiative
environment of embedded atomic impurities. We analyze the role of the lattice geometry on …

In the study of optical properties of large atomic systems, a weak laser driving is often
assumed to simplify the system dynamics by linearly coupled equations. Here we investigate …

We consider bioinspired ring systems as photovoltaic circuits to explore the advantage of
“optical ratcheting,” a process whereby the arrangement of coupled optical dipoles enables …

Collective light emission and multiqubit dynamics of solid-state quantum emitters are
affected both by their coupling to the light field and to lattice vibrations. The effect of phonons …

We theoretically and computationally investigate the role that the spatial spread of atoms
plays in the transmission and reflection of weak light from atom arrays. In particular, we …
