• Abstract: Ordered atomic arrays with subwavelength spacing have emerged as an efficient and versatile light-matter interface, where emitters respond collectively and form subradiant lattice modes with supressed decay rate. Here, we demonstrate that such lattice dark states can be individually addressed and manipulated by applying a spatial modulation of the atomic detuning. More specifically, we show that lattice dark states can be used to store and retrieve single photons with near-unit efficiency, as well as to control the temporal, frequency and spatial degrees of freedom of the emitted electromagnetic field. Additionally, we discuss how to engineer arbitrary coherent interactions between multiple dark states. These results pave the way towards building a quantum platform that can equally act as a quantum memory and a photon shaper capable of producing states of light relevant in quantum information protocols.

  We observe a cavity dark mode, where the standing-wave nodes are dynamically locked to the positions of the atoms. The dark mode is decoupled from the atoms, protecting the system from dissipation through atomic scattering. We impart an arbitrary large phase shift on the converted optical fields by translating the atom array.

  We propose the use of collective states of matter as a resource for the deterministic generation of quantum states of light. Photon-mediated interactions between the emitters result in the emergence of bright and dark states. We demonstrate that sequential application of these gates leads to the generation of photonic entangled states.

  Enhancing light-matter coupling at the level of single quanta is essential for numerous applications in quantum science. Cooperative optical response of subwavelength atomic arrays has been found to open new pathways for such strong light-matter couplings. We demonstrate spatial control over the optical response of an atomically thin mirror formed by a subwavelength array of atoms in free space.

Control is achieved by controlling classically or quantum mechanically the ac Stark shifts of the atomic levels. We illustrate the control by manipulating the phase, phase superposition, polarization, and direction of a transmitted or reflected photon.

  Entanglement in high-dimensional quantum systems, where one or more degrees of freedom of light are involved, offers increased information capacities and enables new quantum protocols.

We generate highly entangled photon pairs at telecom wavelength that we characterise via two-photon interference and quantum state tomography, achieving near-unity visibilities and fidelities.

• Multidimensional dark space and its underlying symmetries: towards dissipation-protected qubits [62.997667081978825]
  We show that a controlled interaction with the environment may help to create a state, dubbed as em dark'', which is immune to decoherence. To encode quantum information in the dark states, they need to span a space with a dimensionality larger than one, so different states act as a computational basis. This approach offers new possibilities for storing, protecting and manipulating quantum information in open systems.
