Metasurface holographic optical traps for ultracold atoms

X Huang, W Yuan, A Holman, M Kwon… - Progress in Quantum …, 2023 - Elsevier
We propose metasurface holograms as a novel platform to generate optical trap arrays for
cold atoms with high quality, efficiency, and thermal stability. We developed design and …

Universality of Dicke superradiance in arrays of quantum emitters

SJ Masson, A Asenjo-Garcia - Nature Communications, 2022 - nature.com
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 …

Cooperative quantum phenomena in light-matter platforms

M Reitz, C Sommer, C Genes - Prx Quantum, 2022 - APS
Quantum cooperativity is evident in light-matter platforms where quantum-emitter ensembles
are interfaced with confined optical modes and are coupled via the ubiquitous …

A non-equilibrium superradiant phase transition in free space

G Ferioli, A Glicenstein, I Ferrier-Barbut, A Browaeys - Nature Physics, 2023 - nature.com
A class of systems exists in which dissipation, external drive and interactions compete and
give rise to non-equilibrium phases that would not exist without the drive. There, phase …

Many-body signatures of collective decay in atomic chains

SJ Masson, I Ferrier-Barbut, LA Orozco, A Browaeys… - Physical review …, 2020 - APS
Fully inverted atoms placed at exactly the same location synchronize as they deexcite, and
light is emitted in a burst (known as “Dicke's superradiance”). We investigate the role of finite …

Storage and release of subradiant excitations in a dense atomic cloud

G Ferioli, A Glicenstein, L Henriet, I Ferrier-Barbut… - Physical Review X, 2021 - APS
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 …

Many-body cavity quantum electrodynamics with driven inhomogeneous emitters

M Lei, R Fukumori, J Rochman, B Zhu, M Endres… - Nature, 2023 - nature.com
Quantum emitters coupled to optical resonators are quintessential systems for exploring
fundamental phenomena in cavity quantum electrodynamics (cQED) and are commonly …

Dicke superradiance in ordered lattices: dimensionality matters

E Sierra, SJ Masson, A Asenjo-Garcia - Physical Review Research, 2022 - APS
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 …

Laser-driven superradiant ensembles of two-level atoms near Dicke regime

G Ferioli, A Glicenstein, F Robicheaux… - Physical Review Letters, 2021 - APS
We report the experimental observation of a superradiant emission emanating from an
elongated dense ensemble of laser cooled two-level atoms, with a radial extent smaller than …

Atomic-waveguide quantum electrodynamics

SJ Masson, A Asenjo-Garcia - Physical Review Research, 2020 - APS
Atom arrays are a new type of quantum light-matter interface. Here we propose to employ
one-dimensional ordered arrays as atomic waveguides. These arrays support optical guided …
