Strongly subradiant states in planar atomic arrays [PDF]
NanophotonicsThe optically trapped ensembles of atoms provide a versatile platform for storing and coherent manipulation of quantum information. However, efficient realization of quantum information processing requires long-lived quantum states protected from the ...

Nonreciprocal total cross section of quantum metasurfaces [PDF]
Nanophotonics, 2023 Nonreciprocity originating from classical interactions among nonlinear scatterers has been attracting increasing attention in the quantum community, offering a promising tool to control excitation transfer for quantum information processing and quantum ...

Directional spontaneous emission in photonic crystal slabs [PDF]
NanophotonicsSpontaneous emission is one of the most fundamental out-of-equilibrium processes in which an excited quantum emitter relaxes to the ground state due to quantum fluctuations.

Directional subradiance from helical-phase-imprinted multiphoton states [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 We theoretically investigate the far-field scattering properties of multiphoton super- and subradiant states which can be prepared by multiphoton excitations with orbital angular momentum (OAM).

Cavity-mediated collective emission from steady-state subradiance [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsCooperative effects such as super(or sub)radiance in quantum systems arise from the interplay among quantum emitters. While bright superradiant states have been extensively studied and have yielded important insights into cooperative phenomena ...

Optimization of photon storage fidelity in ordered atomic arrays [PDF]
New Journal of Physics, 2018 A major application for atomic ensembles consists of a quantum memory for light, in which an optical state can be reversibly converted to a collective atomic excitation on demand. There exists a well-known fundamental bound on the storage error, when the

Communication and the emergence of collective behavior in living organisms: a quantum approach. [PDF]
Mol Biol Int, 2013 Intermolecular interactions within living organisms have been found to occur not as individual independent events but as a part of a collective array of interconnected events. The problem of the emergence of this collective dynamics and of the correlated biocommunication therefore arises.

Collective single-photon emission and energy transfer in thin-layer dielectric and plasmonic systems [PDF]
NanophotonicsWe study the collective photon decay of multiple quantum emitters embedded in a thin high-index dielectric layer such as hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), with and without a metal substrate.

Negative refraction of light in an atomic medium [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe quest to manipulate light propagation in ways not possible with natural media has driven the development of artificially structured metamaterials. One of the most striking effects is negative refraction, where the light beam deflects away from the ...

Storage and Release of Subradiant Excitations in a Dense Atomic Cloud
Physical Review X, 2021 We report the observation of subradiance in dense ensembles of cold ^{87}Rb atoms operating near Dicke’s regime of a large number of atoms in a volume with dimensions smaller than the transition wavelength.
