Superradiance from an arbitrary dimensional lattice

LUO LIAO-FU, Ling Yin-Sheng

Abstract

Superradiance of two level atoms from a lattice of arbitrary dimension is discussed which is resonant sharply with some definite momenta of photons. Both the photon superradiant and the photon trapping (squeezing) from the lattice are expected theoretically.

Superbunching and Nonclassicality as new Hallmarks of Superradiance

Daniel Bhatti, Joachim von Zanthier, G. S. Agarwal

Superradiance, i.e., spontaneous emission of coherent radiation by an ensemble of two-level atoms in collective states introduced by Dicke in 1954, is one of the enigmatic problems of quantum optics. The startling gist is that even though the atoms have no dipole moment they radiate with increased intensity in particular directions. Following the advances in our understanding of superradiant emission by atoms in entangled W-states we examine the quantum statistical properties of superradiance. Such investigations require the system to have at least two excitations in order to explore the photon-photon correlations of the radiation emitted by such states. We present specifically results for the spatially resolved photon-photon correlations of systems prepared in doubly excited W-states and give conditions when the atomic system emits nonclassial light. Equally, we derive the conditions for the occurrence of bunching and even of superbunching, a rare phenomenon otherwise known only from nonclassical states of light like the squeezed vacuum. We finally investigate the photon-photon cross correlations of the spontaneously scattered light and highlight the nonclassicalty of such correlations. The theoretical findings can be implemented with current technology, e.g., using ions in a linear rf-trap, atoms in an optical lattice or quantum dots in a cavity.

Possibility of two-photon superradiance in microcavities

Mihai Macovei, N. A. Enaki

We analyze the two-photon cooperative emission of excited atoms in microcavities with dimensions of the order of the emission wavelength. Here the two-photon dipole-forbidden transitions between the upper and the ground states of the three-level system are possible through the intermediate level that is off resonance with microcavity modes. In this situation one obtains the powerful pulse of two-photon highly correlated light. The superbunching phenomenon in radiated field is also discussed.

Single-Photon Superradiance and Subradiance as Collective Emission from Symmetric and Anti-Symmetric States

N. Piovella, Stefano Olivares

Recent works have shown that collective single photon spontaneous emission from an ensemble of N resonant two-level atoms is a rich field of study. Superradiance describes emission from a completely symmetric state of N atoms, with a single excited atom prepared with a given phase, for instance imprinted by an external laser. Instead, subradiance is associated with the emission from the remaining N−1 asymmetric states, with a collective decay rate less than the single-atom value. Here, we discuss the properties of the orthonormal basis of symmetric and asymmetric states and the entanglement properties of superradiant and subradiant states.

Excitation of Superradiant Atomic State by a Pulse of Quantum Field

N. K. Solovarov

The excitation of the system of N two-level atoms is considered with the pulse of the resonance quantum field in the state with the definite number of photons n b n > (n≫1). It is shown that the atomic system may be excited into the superradiant correlated (radiation proportional to N 2) but noncoherent (macroscopic polarization is zero) state.

Superradiance Lattice

Da‐Wei Wang, Ren‐Bao Liu, Shi‐Yao Zhu +1 more

We show that the timed Dicke states of a collection of three-level atoms can form a tight-binding lattice in momentum space. This lattice, coined the superradiance lattice (SL), can be constructed based on electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). For a one-dimensional SL, we need the coupling field of the EIT system to be a standing wave. The detuning between the two components of the standing wave introduces an effective uniform force in momentum space. The quantum lattice dynamics, such as Bloch oscillations, Wannier-Stark ladders, Bloch band collapsing, and dynamic localization can be observed in the SL. The two-dimensional SL provides a flexible platform for Dirac physics in graphene. The SL can be extended to three and higher dimensions where no analogous real space lattices exist with new physics waiting to be explored.

Superradiance of several cold atoms

Игорь Евгеньевич Проценко

A method for calculating the spontaneous emission power of several immobile dipole-interacting two-level atoms located in a volume of about the wavelength of resonance radiation has been proposed in the Schrödinger representation. It has been shown that two atoms cannot, but four atoms can, emit a superradiance pulse under the conditions corresponding to experiments with cold atoms in dipole traps. Various methods for determining the quasistationary mixed atomic states, as well as the generalization of this method to other resonance emitting systems, are discussed.
