We experimentally demonstrate the resonance fluorescence of a two-level artificial atom strongly coupled to a single-mode cavity field. The effect was theoretically predicted thirty years ago by Savage [Phys. Rev. Lett. 63, 1376 (1989)].…

We investigate the photon statistics of an ensemble of coherently driven non-interacting two-level atoms in the weak driving regime. As it turns out, the system displays unique emission characteristics that are strongly in contrast to the…

Plasmonic superradiance originates from the plasmon mediated strong correlation that builds up between dipolar emitters coupled to a metal nanoparticle. This leads to a fast burst of emission so that plasmonic superradiance constitutes…
