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 experimentally study resonant light scattering by a one-dimensional randomly filled
chain of cold two-level atoms. By a local measurement of the light scattered along the chain …

Regular arrays of two-level emitters at distances smaller than that of the transition
wavelength collectively scatter, absorb, and emit photons. The strong inter-particle dipole …

We report the efficient and fast (∼ 2 Hz) preparation of randomly loaded one-dimensional
(1D) chains of individual Rb 87 atoms and of dense atomic clouds trapped in optical …

We present precise, subwavelength optical intensity measurements using a single trapped
Rb 87 atom as a sensor. The intensity is measured by the scalar ac Stark shift it produces on …

The Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan-Lindblad master equation (ME) governs the density
matrix of open quantum systems (OQSs). When an OQS is subjected to weak continuous …

Using a single neutral Rb 87 atom held in an optical trap, and “quantum jump” detection of
single-photon-initiated state changes, we demonstrate a single-photon quantum jump …

Using quantum systems to efficiently solve quantum chemistry problems is one of the long-
sought applications of near-future quantum technologies. In a recent work [J. Argüello …

We describe a cavity-enhanced spontaneous parametric down-conversion (CE-SPDC)
source for narrowband photon pairs with filters designed such that 97.7% of the correlated …

Background: Optical microtraps at the focus of high numerical aperture (high-NA) imaging
systems enable efficient collection, trapping, detection and manipulation of individual neutral …
