Superradiant and subradiant states in lifetime-limited organic molecules through laser-induced tuning

Christian Lange, Emma Daggett, Valentin Walther +2

An array of radiatively coupled emitters is an exciting new platform for generating, storing, and manipulating quantum light. However, the simultaneous positioning and tuning of mu…

Building one molecule from a reservoir of two atoms

L. R. Liu, J. D. Hood, Y. Yu +4

Chemical reactions typically proceed via stochastic encounters between reactants. Going beyond this paradigm, we combine exactly two atoms into a single, controlled reaction. The e…
