Distinguished from the system with one order parameter, systems described by two or more order parameters will manifest more complex and much richer phase diagram and critical phenomena. In systems of two order parameters, the phase…

In super- or subradiance, a quantum superposition of excited atoms collectively emits a photon much more or much less rapidly than an isolated atom. Superradiant and subradiant lifetimes have been derived for finite spheres of uniform…

Almost 60 years ago Dicke introduced the term superradiance to describe a signature quantum effect: N atoms can collectively emit light at a rate proportional to N^2. Even for moderate N this represents a significant increase over the…
