- Title: Subradiant emission from regular atomic arrays: universal scaling of
decay rates from the generalized Bloch theorem
- Authors: Yu-Xiang Zhang and Klaus M{\o}lmer
- Abstract summary: We show that a dispersion relation leads to the existence of subradiant states of finite one-dimensional arrays of $N$ atoms with decay rates scaling as $N-(s+1)$.
This explains the recently discovered $N-3$ scaling and it leads to the prediction of power law scaling with higher power for special values of the lattice period.

- Abstract: The Hermitian part of the dipole-dipole interaction in infinite periodic
arrays of two-level atoms yields an energy band of singly excited states. In
this Letter, we show that a dispersion relation, $\omega_k-\omega_{k_\ex}
\propto (k-k_{\ex})^s$, near the band edge of the infinite system leads to the
existence of subradiant states of finite one-dimensional arrays of $N$ atoms
with decay rates scaling as $N^{-(s+1)}$. This explains the recently discovered
$N^{-3}$ scaling and it leads to the prediction of power law scaling with
higher power for special values of the lattice period. For the quantum optical
implementation of the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) topological model in a
dimerized emitter array, the band-gap-closing inherent to topological
transitions changes the value of $s$ in the dispersion relation and alters the
decay rates of the subradiant states by many orders of magnitude.

The radial components of the $p$-type "half-space" orbitals and the corresponding occupation numbers (that decay like $R-6$) are available for the first time thanks to the development of the present formalism.

We study the stroboscopic dynamics of a driven finite Rydberg chain with staggered ($Delta$) and time-dependent uniform ($lambda(t)$) detuning terms using exact diagonalization (ED)
We show that at intermediate drive ($omega_D$), the presence of a finite $Delta$ results in violation of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) via clustering of Floquet eigenstates.
The violation of ETH in these driven finite-sized chains is also evident from the dynamical freezing displayed by the density density correlation function at specific $omega_D
