• Abstract: The deterministic generation of multiexcitation subradiant states proves to be challenging. Here, we present a viable path towards their transient generation in finite-sized ordered arrays of dipole-dipole coupled quantum emitters, based on incoherent driving of the atomic ensemble. In particular, we show that a maximal coupling to long-lived subradiant states is achieved if only half of the atoms are initially excited. We characterize the nature of the resulting states by calculating the dynamic fluorescence spectrum of the emitted light. Finally, we elucidate the role of coherent interactions during the decay process of sufficiently dense atomic arrays, which result in a coherently driven radiation burst that leads to a subsequent reduction of the chances to prepare multiexcitation subradiant states.

  We show how light-shifts and decay rates induced by dipole-dipole interactions modify the steady-state properties of coherently driven arrays of quantum emitters. We find that diverging from the well-established Dicke paradigm of equal all-to-all interactions significantly modifies the emission properties.

We show that the external coupling between the collective states associated with the symmetry of the array and with the quasi-flat dispersion of the corresponding infinite lattice plays a crucial role in the boost of their radiative lifetime.

• Characterizing superradiant dynamics in atomic arrays via a cumulant expansion approach [0.0]
  Ordered atomic arrays with subwavelength lattice spacing emit light collectively. For fully inverted atomic arrays, this results in an initial burst of radiation and a fast build up of coherences between the atoms at initial times. We benchmark the cumulant expansion approach and show that it correctly captures the cooperative dynamics resulting in superradiance.

  We study the radiative properties of an artificial atom coupled to a multimode cavity formed by an array of Josephson junctions. Introducing a tunable coupling element between the atom and the array, we demonstrate that such a system can exhibit a crossover from a perturbative to non-perturbative regime of light-matter interaction.

  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.

• Superradiance and subradiance in inverted atomic arrays [0.0]
  Superradiance and subradiance are collective effects that emerge from coherent interactions between quantum emitters. We use herein a mean-field approach to reduce the complex many-body system to an effective two-atom master equation. We find that three-dimensional and two-dimensional inverted atomic arrays sustain superradiance below a critical lattice spacing.

We also benchmark how these directional emission patterns translate into collective, anisotropic dissipative couplings.

• Maximum refractive index of an atomic medium [58.720142291102135]
  All optical materials with a positive refractive index have a value of index that is of order unity. Despite the giant response of an isolated atom, we find that the maximum index does not indefinitely grow with increasing density. We propose an explanation based upon strong-disorder renormalization group theory.
