Emergence of an Epsilon-Near-Zero Medium from Microscopic Atomic Principles

L. Ruks, J. Ruostekoski

We demonstrate that an effective near-zero refractive index can emerge from collective light scattering in a discrete atomic lattice, using essentially exact microscopic simulation…

Topological optical skyrmion transfer to matter

Chirantan Mitra, Chetan Sriram Madasu, Lucas Gabardos +4

The ability of structured light to mimic exotic topological skyrmion textures, encountered in high-energy physics, cosmology, magnetic materials, and superfluids has recently recei…

Negative refraction of light in an atomic medium

L. Ruks, K. E. Ballantine, J. Ruostekoski

The 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 effe…

Topological atom optics and beyond with knotted quantum wavefunctions

Maitreyi Jayaseelan, Joseph D. Murphree, Justin T. Schultz +2

Atom optics demonstrates optical phenomena with coherent matter waves, providing a foundational connection between light and matter. Significant advances in optics have followed th…

Cooperative optical pattern formation in an ultrathin atomic layer

C. D. Parmee, J. Ruostekoski

Spontaneous pattern formation from a uniform state is a widely studied nonlinear optical phenomenon that shares similarities with non-equilibrium pattern formation in other scienti…

Bistable optical transmission through arrays of atoms in free space

C. D. Parmee, J. Ruostekoski

We determine the transmission of light through a planar atomic array beyond the limit of low light intensity that displays optical bistability in the mean-field regime. We develop…
