We show that a saturable single-frequency elastic T-matrix approach to scattering of light by atoms agrees remarkably well with a master equation description in the regime of unsaturated atoms, or for large separation between the atoms. If…
We develop a scattering-matrix formalism to numerically study the resonant scattering of light on generic assemblies of atoms. Protocols to eliminate the artifacts of the method and extract physical information from the numerical data are…
The computation of light scattering by the superposition T-matrix scheme has been so far restricted to systems made of particles that are either sparsely distributed or of near-spherical shape. In this work, we extend the range of…
We extend the T-matrix approach to light scattering by spherical particles to some simple cases in which the scatterers are optically anisotropic. Specifically we consider cases in which the spherical particles include radially and…
This is the second paper in a series on light scattering from optically anisotropic scatterers embedded in an isotropic medium. The apparently complex T-matrix theory involving mixing of angular momentum components turns out to be an…
We study coherent backscattering of intense laser light from three immobile two-level atoms using the master equation approach. The master equation is solved analytically, and the triple scattering spectrum is expressed in quadratures. We…
Multiple scattering theory is applied to low-energy electron collisions with a complex target formed of two molecular scatterers. The total T-matrix is expressed in terms of the T-matrix for each isolated molecule. We apply the approach to…
The T-matrix method is widely used for the calculation of scattering by particles of sizes on the order of the illuminating wavelength. Although the extended boundary condition method (EBCM) is the most commonly used technique for…
A potential scattering theory from deterministic and random $\mathcal{PT}$ collections of particles with gain and loss is introduced and the forms of their structure and pair-structure factors are elucidated. An example relating to light…
We present a generic transfer matrix approach for the description of the interaction of atoms possessing multiple ground state and excited state sublevels with light fields. This model allows us to treat multi-level atoms as classical…
Collective effects in atom-light interaction is of great importance for cold-atom-based quantum devices or fundamental studies on light transport in complex media. Here we discuss and compare three different approaches to light scattering…
We present a diagrammatic derivation of the coherent backscattering spectrum from two two-level atoms using the pump-probe approach, wherein the multiple scattering signal is deduced from single-atom responses, and provide a physical…
A method for solving few-body scattering equations is proposed and examined. The solution of the scattering equations at complex energies is analytically continued to get scattering T-matrix with real positive energy. Numerical examples…
Based on Lippmann-Schwinger equation approach, we discuss a three-particle system in finite volume. A set of equations which relate the discrete finite-volume energies to the scattering amplitudes are derived under the approximation of the…
We provide a simple semi-classical formalism to describe the coupling between one or several quantum emitters and a structured environment. Describing the emitter by an electric polarizability, and the surrounding medium by a Green…
Predicting the optical response of macroscopic arrangements of individual scatterers is a computational challenge, as the problem involves length scales across multiple orders of magnitude. We present a full-wave optical method to highly…
We present a generalization of the coupled dipole method to the scattering of light by arbitrary periodic structures. This new formulation of the coupled dipole method relies on the same direct-space discretization scheme that is widely…
The transfer-matrix method is a standard approach to wave propagation in stratified media. With the advent of cold-atom-based quantum and photonic technologies, several experiments and many proposals consider light propagation in…
We present the status of our formalism for extracting three-particle scattering observables from lattice QCD (LQCD). The method relies on relating the discrete finite-volume spectrum of a quantum field theory with its scattering amplitudes.…
The energy spectrum of a 3-level atomic system in the $\Xi$-configuration is studied. This configuration presents a triple point independently of the number of atoms, which remains in the thermo- dynamic limit. This means that in a vicinity…
