Emergent and broken symmetries of atomic self-organization arising from Gouy phase shifts in multimode cavity QED

Yudan Guo, Varun D. Vaidya, Ronen M. Kroeze +3

Optical cavities can induce photon-mediated interactions among intracavity-trapped atoms. Multimode cavities provide the ability to tune the form of these interactions, e.g., by in…
