Subradiance-protected excitation spreading in the generation of collimated photon emission from an atomic array [PDF]
We show how an initial localized radiative excitation in a two-dimensional array of cold atoms can be converted into highly directional coherent emission of light by protecting the spreading of the excitation across the array in a subradiant collective ...

Exponential Improvement in Photon Storage Fidelities Using Subradiance and “Selective Radiance” in Atomic Arrays [PDF]
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 systems arises from spontaneous emission, in which photons are absorbed ...

Bath‐Induced Collective Phenomena on Superconducting Qubits: Synchronization, Subradiance, and Entanglement Generation [PDF]
A common environment acting on a pair of qubits gives rise to a plethora of different phenomena, such as the generation of qubit–qubit entanglement, quantum synchronization, and subradiance. Time‐independent figures of merit for entanglement generation, quantum synchronization, and subradiance, are defined, and an extensive analytical and numerical ...

Deterministic steady-state subradiance within a single-excitation basis
Subradiance shows promising applications in quantum information, yet its realization remains more challenging than superradiance due to the need to suppress various decay channels. This study introduces a state space within a single-excitation basis with

Subradiance-protected excitation transport [PDF]
We explore excitation transport within a one-dimensional chain of atoms where the atomic transition dipoles are coupled to the free radiation field. When the atoms are separated by distances smaller or comparable to the wavelength of the transition, the ...

Subradiance and radiation trapping in cold atoms
We experimentally and numerically study the temporal dynamics of light scattered by large clouds of cold atoms after the exciting laser is switched off, in the low intensity (linear-optics) regime. Radiation trapping due to multiple scattering as well as

Super- and subradiance of clock atoms in multimode optical waveguides
The transversely confined propagating modes of an optical fiber mediate virtually infinite range energy exchanges among atoms placed within their field, which adds to the inherent free space dipole–dipole coupling.

Controlling narrowband phosphorescence and delayed fluorescence by aggregate size [PDF]
Exciton coherence is a phenomenon involving collective electronic transition dipole moments of molecular aggregates with interesting photophysical behaviors such as superradiance and subradiance in J- and H-type aggregates, respectively. Although singlet

Storage and Release of Subradiant Excitations in a Dense Atomic Cloud
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.
