We report the observation of subradiance in dense ensembles of cold Rb 87 atoms
operating near Dicke's regime of a large number of atoms in a volume with dimensions …

We show how strong light-mediated resonant dipole-dipole interactions between atoms can
be utilized in a control and storage of light. The method is based on a high-fidelity …

Coherent effects manifested in light scattering from cold, optically dense and disordered
atomic systems are reviewed from a primarily theoretical point of view. Development of the …

The control and manipulation of quantum-entangled states is crucial for the development of
quantum technologies. A promising route is to couple solid-state quantum emitters through …

We investigate the collective decay dynamics of atoms with a generic multilevel structure
(angular momenta F↔ F′) coupled to two light modes of different polarization inside a …

Weakly bound molecules have physical properties without atomic analogues, even as the
bond length approaches dissociation. For instance, the internal symmetries of homonuclear …

Subradiant excitations, originally predicted by Dicke, have posed a long-standing challenge
in physics owing to their weak radiative coupling to environment. Here we engineer massive …

We have produced large samples of stable ultracold Sr 2 88 molecules in the electronic
ground state in an optical lattice. The fast, all-optical method of molecule creation involves a …

Atomic planar arrays offer a novel emerging quantum-optical many-body system in which
light mediates strong interactions between the atoms. The regular lattice structure provides a …

We show how an initial localized radiative excitation in a two-dimensional array of cold
atoms can be converted into highly directional coherent emission of light by protecting the …
