Since Dicke's seminal paper on coherence in spontaneous radiation by atomic ensembles,
superradiance has been extensively studied. Subradiance, on the contrary, has remained …

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 report the observation of subradiance in dense ensembles of cold Rb 87 atoms
operating near Dicke's regime of a large number of atoms in a volume with dimensions …

Coherent effects manifested in light scattering from cold, optically dense and disordered
atomic systems are reviewed from a primarily theoretical point of view. Development of the …

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

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 …

Strategic manipulation of wave and particle transport in various media is the key driving
force for modern information processing and communication. In a strongly scattering …

Absorption imaging with quasi-resonant laser light is a commonly used technique for
probing ultra-cold atomic gases in various geometries. In this paper, we investigate some …

We present a detailed study of the spatial self-organization of laser-driven atoms in an
optical cavity, an effect predicted on the basis of numerical simulations [P. Domokos and H …

The properties of random and fluctuating systems are often studied through the use of
Gaussian distributions. However, in a number of situations, rare events have drastic …
