The interaction of laser cooled and trapped atoms with resonant light is limited by the linewidth of the excited state of the atom. Another precise optical oscillator is an optical Fabry-P\'erot cavity. The combining of cold atoms with…
It is often conjectured that quantum synchronisation and entanglement are two independent properties which two coupled quantum systems may not exhibit at the same time. However, as both these properties can be understood in terms of the…

Coupled clocks are a classic example of a synchronization system leading to periodic collective oscillations. This phenomenon already attracted the attention of Christian Huygens back in 1665,who described it as a kind of "sympathy" among…

Light scattering by a periodic atomic array is studied when the atoms couple with the mode of a high-finesse optical resonator and are driven by a laser. When the von-Laue condition is not satified, there is no coherent emission into the…
Synchronization is the spontaneous alignment of the dynamics of weakly-coupled oscillators. In addition to temporal dynamics like periodic and chaotic oscillations, also the spatio-temporal dynamics of spatially-extended systems like…

We theoretically study chaos synchronization of two lasers which are delay-coupled via an active or a passive relay. While the lasers are synchronized, their dynamics is identical to a single laser with delayed feedback for a passive relay…
We propose an experimentally accessible scheme for realizing tunable nonclassical light in cavity-coupled reconfigurable atomic arrays. By coherently controlling the collective interference phase, the system switches from single-photon…
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 resonance. When sufficiently illuminated, moreover, the atoms'…
