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.

Polariton dynamics in one-dimensional arrays of atoms coupled to waveguides
New Journal of Physics, 2022 Photons strongly coupled to material systems constitute a novel system for realizing non-linear optics at the level of individual photons and studying the dynamics of non-equilibrium quantum many-body system.

Optimal subradiant spin wave exchange in dipole-coupled atomic ring arrays
New Journal of Physics, 2023 The subwavelength array of quantum emitters provides an ideal platform for exploring rich many-body dynamics, such as super- and subradiance. In this paper, we explore the dynamics of spin wave exchange between two dipole-coupled atomic ring arrays ...

Many-Body Quantum Zeno Effect and Measurement-Induced Subradiance Transition [PDF]
Quantum, 2021 It is well known that by repeatedly measuring a quantum system it is possible to completely freeze its dynamics into a well defined state, a signature of the quantum Zeno effect.

Parity‐time symmetry and coherent perfect absorption in a cooperative atom response
Nanophotonics, Volume 10, Issue 4, Page 1357-1366, March 2021., 2021 Abstract Parity‐Time (PT) symmetry has become an important concept in the design of synthetic optical materials, with exotic functionalities such as unidirectional transport and nonreciprocal reflection. At exceptional points, this symmetry is spontaneously broken, and solutions transition from those with conserved intensity to exponential growth or ...

Mean-Field Description of Cooperative Scattering by Atomic Clouds
Atoms, 2023 We present analytic expressions for the scattering of light by an extended atomic cloud. We obtain the solution for the mean-field excitation of different atomic spherical distributions driven by a uniform laser, including the initial build up, the ...

Steady-state subradiance manipulated by the two-atom decay
, 2022 We investigate theoretically the collective radiance characteristics of an atomic ensemble with the simultaneous decay of two atoms. We show that the two-atom decay can significantly suppress the steady-state collective radiance of the atoms, expanding ...

Fluorescence dynamics of an ensemble of cold atoms [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2019 We have calculated the fluorescence dynamics of cold atoms excited by pulsed radiation. We have considered both Radon-Nikodym spectral method and multi-stage relaxation model describing collective effects in cold atomic gases.
