The interaction of two--level atoms with a common heat bath leads to an effective interaction between the atoms, such that with time the internal degrees of the atoms become correlated or even entangled. If part of the atoms remain…
Measurement-based quantum computing relies on the rapid creation of large-scale entanglement in a register of stable qubits. Atomic arrays are well suited to store quantum information, and entanglement can be created using highly-excited…

Two atoms in an ultracold gas are correlated at short inter-atomic distances due to threshold effects where the potential energy of their interaction dominates the kinetic energy. The correlations manifest themselves in a distinct nodal…
The interatomic dipole-dipole interaction is commonly thought to be the main physical reason for spectroscopic effects nonlinear in atomic density. However, we have found that the free motion of atoms can lead to other effects nonlinear in…
