- Abstract: We propose a straightforward implementation of the phenomenon of diffractive
focusing with uniform atomic Bose-Einstein condensates. Both, analytical as
well as numerical methods not only illustrate the influence of the atom-atom
interaction on the focusing factor and the focus time, but also allow us to
derive the optimal conditions for observing focusing of this type in the case
of interacting matter waves.

We consider a prototype light-harvesting heterodimer exhibiting coherent and collective exciton-vibration interactions.
We show that coherent vibronic mechanisms strongly affect the asymmetries characteristic of time-resolved photon cross-correlations.
We discuss how such second-order correlation asymmetry establishes important connections between coherent vibronic interactions, directional exciton population transport, and violation of quantum detailed balance.

In this work, we show numerically that the impurities in the self-pinned state form a soliton-train.
The dynamics of the impurities possess similar characteristics to bright matter-wave solitons as they appear in attractive BECs.

We consider an ensemble of Alkali atoms that are continuously optically pumped and probed.
Due to the collective scattering of photons at large optical depth, the steady state of atoms does not correspond to an uncorrelated tensor-product state.
We find and characterize regimes of Raman lasing, akin to the model of a superradiant laser.
