• Abstract: Collective effects in the interaction of light with ensembles of identical scatterers play an important role in many fields of physics. However, often the term ``identical'' is not accurate due to the presence of hyperfine fields which induce inhomogeneous transition shifts and splittings. Here we develop a formalism based on the Green function method to model the linear response of such inhomogeneous ensembles in one-dimensional waveguides. We obtain a compact formula for the collective spectrum, which exhibits deviations from the uniform frequency shift and broadening expected of two level systems. In particular, if the coherent contribution to the collective coupling is large, the effect of inhomogeneous broadening can be suppressed, with the linewidth approaching that of the superradiant value. We apply this formalism to describe collective effects in x-ray scattering off thin-film waveguides for inhomogeneous hyperfine parameters.

  We study theoretically an array of two-level qubits moving relative to a one-dimensional waveguide. When the frequency of this motion approaches twice the qubit resonance frequency, it induces parametric generation of photons and excitation of the qubits. We develop a comprehensive general theoretical framework that incorporates both perturbative diagrammatic techniques and a rigorous master-equation approach.

  We present the spin-wave theory of the excitation spectrum and quench dynamics of the non-Hermitian transverse-field Ising model. The complex excitation spectrum is obtained for a generic hypercubic lattice using the linear approximation of the Holstein-Primakoff transformation. We show however that the linear spin-wave approximation breaks down and the bosonic theory is plagued by a divergence at finite times.

  We use intuition to predict the formation of non-trivial photonic steady-states in one and two dimensions. We show that subradiant emitter configurations are linked to the emergence of steady-state light-localization in the driven-dissipative setting. These results shed light on the recently reported optically-defined cavities in polaritonic lattices.
