Collective Dissipative Molecule Formation in a Cavity
David Wellnitz, Stefan Schütz, Shannon Whitlock +2
We propose a mechanism to realize high-yield molecular formation from ultracold atoms. Atom pairs are continuously excited by a laser, and a collective decay into the molecular gro…
Exploring Superconductivity under Strong Coupling with the Vacuum Electromagnetic Field
Anoop Thomas, Eloïse Devaux, Kalaivanan Nagarajan +8
Light-matter interactions have generated considerable interest as a means to manipulate material properties. Light-induced superconductivity has been demonstrated using pulsed lase…
Cavity-assisted mesoscopic transport of fermions: Coherent and dissipative dynamics
David Hagenmüller, Stefan Schütz, Johannes Schachenmayer +2
We study the interplay between charge transport and light-matter interactions in a confined geometry, by considering an open, mesoscopic chain of two-orbital systems resonantly cou…
Quenches across the self-organization transition in multimode cavities
Tim Keller, Valentin Torggler, Simon B. Jäger +3
A cold dilute atomic gas in an optical resonator can be radiatively cooled by coherent scattering processes when the driving laser frequency is tuned close but below the cavity res…
Cavity-enhanced transport of charge
David Hagenmüller, Johannes Schachenmayer, Stefan Schütz +2
We theoretically investigate charge transport through electronic bands of a mesoscopic one-dimensional system, where inter-band transitions are coupled to a confined cavity mode, i…
Semiclassical theory of synchronization-assisted cooling
Simon B. Jäger, Minghui Xu, Stefan Schütz +2
We analyse the dynamics leading to radiative cooling of an atomic ensemble confined inside an optical cavity when the atomic dipolar transitions are incoherently pumped and can syn…
Mean-field theory of atomic self-organization in optical cavities
Simon B. Jäger, Stefan Schütz, Giovanna Morigi
Photons mediate long-range optomechanical forces between atoms in high finesse resonators, which can induce the formation of ordered spatial patterns. When a transverse laser drive…
Supercooling of Atoms in an Optical Resonator
Minghui Xu, Simon B. Jäger, S. Schütz +3
We investigate laser cooling of an ensemble of atoms in an optical cavity. We demonstrate that when atomic dipoles are sychronized in the regime of steady-state superradiance, the…
Dissipation-assisted prethermalization in long-range interacting atomic ensembles
Stefan Schütz, Simon B. Jäger, Giovanna Morigi
We theoretically characterize the semiclassical dynamics of an ensemble of atoms after a sudden quench across a driven-dissipative second-order phase transition. The atoms are driv…
Thermodynamics and dynamics of atomic self-organization in an optical cavity
Stefan Schütz, Simon B. Jäger, Giovanna Morigi
Pattern formation of atoms in high-finesse optical resonators results from the mechanical forces of light associated with superradiant scattering into the cavity mode. It occurs wh…
Prethermalization of atoms due to photon-mediated long-range interactions
Stefan Schütz, Giovanna Morigi
Atoms can spontaneously form spatially-ordered structures in optical resonators when they are transversally driven by lasers. This occurs when the laser intensity exceeds a thresho…
Seeding patterns for self-organization of photons and atoms
Wolfgang Niedenzu, Stefan Schütz, Hessam Habibian +2
When atoms scatter photons from a transverse laser into a high-finesse optical cavity, they form crystalline structures which maximize the intracavity light field and trap the atom…
