Deterministic generation of photonic entangled states using decoherence-free subspaces

Oriol Rubies-Bigorda, Stuart J. Masson, Susanne F. Yelin +1

We propose the use of collective states of matter as a resource for the deterministic generation of quantum states of light, which are fundamental for quantum information technolog…

Ground-state selection via many-body superradiant decay

Wai-Keong Mok, Stuart J. Masson, Dan M. Stamper-Kurn +2

For a single particle, relaxation into different ground states is governed by fixed branching ratios determined by the transition matrix element and the environment. Here, we show…

Universal scaling laws for correlated decay of many-body quantum systems

Wai-Keong Mok, Avishi Poddar, Eric Sierra +3

Quantum systems are open, continually exchanging energy and information with the surrounding environment. This interaction leads to decoherence and decay of quantum states. In comp…

Collectively enhanced ground-state cooling in subwavelength atomic arrays

Oriol Rubies-Bigorda, Raphael Holzinger, Ana Asenjo-Garcia +6

Subwavelength atomic arrays feature strong light-induced dipole-dipole interactions, resulting in subradiant collective resonances characterized by narrowed linewidths. In this wor…

State-insensitive wavelengths for light shifts and photon scattering from Zeeman states

Stuart J. Masson, Zhenjie Yan, Jacquelyn Ho +3

Atoms are not two-level systems, and their rich internal structure often leads to complex phenomena in the presence of light. Here, we analyze off-resonant light scattering includi…

Dicke superradiance in ordered arrays of multilevel atoms

Stuart J. Masson, Jacob P. Covey, Sebastian Will +1

In inverted atomic ensembles, photon-mediated interactions give rise to Dicke superradiance, a form of many-body decay that results in a rapid release of energy as a photon burst.…

Dicke superradiance requires interactions beyond nearest-neighbors

Wai-Keong Mok, Ana Asenjo-Garcia, Tze Chien Sum +1

Photon-mediated interactions within an excited ensemble of emitters can result in Dicke superradiance, where the emission rate is greatly enhanced, manifesting as a high-intensity…
