A central goal within quantum optics is to realize efficient, controlled interactions between
photons and atomic media. A fundamental limit in nearly all applications based on such …

Quantum memory is an important component in the long-distance quantum communication
based on the quantum repeater protocol. To outperform the direct transmission of photons …

Superradiance has been extensively studied in the 1970s and 1980s in the regime of
superfluorescence, where a large number of atoms are initially excited. Cooperative …

We show how strong light-mediated resonant dipole-dipole interactions between atoms can
be utilized in a control and storage of light. The method is based on a high-fidelity …

Interfacing cold atoms with integrated nanophotonic devices could offer new paradigms for
engineering atom-light interactions and provide a potentially scalable route for quantum …

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 …

Ultracold atomic systems are among the most promising platforms that have the potential to
shed light on the complex behavior of many-body quantum systems. One prominent …

The dependent scattering effect (DSE), which arises from the wave nature of
electromagnetic radiation, is a critical mechanism affecting the radiative properties of …

We experimentally study resonant light scattering by a one-dimensional randomly filled
chain of cold two-level atoms. By a local measurement of the light scattered along the chain …

We show that two-time, second-order correlations of scattered photons from planar arrays
and chains of atoms display nonclassical features that can be described by a superatom …
