In 1954, Dicke predicted that a system of quantum emitters confined to a subwavelength volume would produce a superradiant burst. For such a burst to occur, the emitters must be in the special Dicke state with zero dipole moment. We show…

An individual excited two level system decays to its ground state by emitting a single photon in a process known as spontaneous emission. In accordance with quantum theory the probability of detecting the emitted photon decreases…

We analyze the driven-dissipative dynamics of subwavelength periodic atomic arrays in free space, where atoms interact via light-induced dipole-dipole interactions. We find that depending on the system parameters, the underlying mean-field…

We introduce kinetically constrained superradiance, a form of cooperative emission in which interactions imprint configuration-dependent energy shifts on optical transitions, splitting Dicke superradiance into multiple, frequency-resolved…

The Dicke model -- a paradigmatic example of superradiance in quantum optics -- describes an ensemble of atoms which are collectively coupled to a leaky cavity mode. As a result of the cooperative nature of these interactions, the system's…

The driven Dicke model, wherein an ensemble of atoms is driven by an external field and undergoes collective spontaneous emission due to coupling to a leaky cavity mode, is a paradigmatic example of a system exhibiting a driven-dissipative…

The transversely confined propagating modes of an optical fiber mediate virtually infinite range energy exchanges among atoms placed within their field, which adds to the inherent free space dipole-dipole coupling. Typically, the single…
