In this Review, the theory and applications of optical micro‐and nano‐resonators are
presented from the underlying concept of their natural resonances, the so‐called quasi …

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 coupling of microwave and optical systems presents an immense challenge due to the
natural incompatibility of energies, but potential applications range from optical …

Dicke superradiance is an example of emergence of macroscopic quantum coherence via
correlated dissipation. Starting from an initially incoherent state, a collection of excited atoms …

A short review of recent developments of the Dicke model in quantum optics is presented.
The focus is on the model in a cavity at zero temperature and in the rotating wave …

In inverted atomic ensembles, photon-mediated interactions give rise to Dicke
superradiance, a form of many-body decay that results in a rapid release of energy as a …

An individual excited two-level system decays to its ground state in a process known as
spontaneous emission. The probability of detecting the emitted photon decreases …

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 …

Dicke superradiance in ordered atomic arrays is a phenomenon where atomic
synchronization gives rise to a burst in photon emission. This superradiant burst only occurs …

Recent determinations of cosmological parameters point to a flat Universe, whose total
energy density is composed of about two-thirds vacuum energy and one-third matter …
