• Abstract: Dicke superradiance occurs when two or more emitters cooperatively interact via the electromagnetic field. This collective light scattering process has been extensively studied across various platforms, from atoms to quantum dots and organic molecules. Despite extensive research, the precise role of direct interactions between emitters in superradiance remains elusive, particularly in many-body systems where the complexity of interactions poses significant challenges. In this study, we investigate the effect of dipole-dipole interaction between 18,000 atoms in dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) on the superradiance process. In dipolar BECs, we simplify the complex effect of anisotropic magnetic dipole-dipole interaction with Bogoliubov transformation. We observe that anisotropic Bogoliubov excitation breaks the mirror symmetry in decay modes of superradiance.

• Collective coupling of driven multilevel atoms and its effect on four-wave mixing [0.0]
  We present a systematic analysis of the cooperative effects arising in driven systems composed of multilevel atoms coupled via a common electromagnetic environment. The dependence of single and two-photon correlations are studied in detail for each region by varying atomic orientations. It is found that the anisotropy of the dipole-dipole interaction and its wave nature are essential to understand the behavior of the photons correlations.

  We introduce the nano-EM super-dephasing phenomenon arising in the photonic environments near materials. Long-range correlations in off-resonant, low-frequency evanescent EM fluctuations lead to collectively accelerated (super-) or suppressed (sub-) dephasing in many-body entangled states.

• Directional spontaneous emission in photonic crystal slabs [49.1574468325115]
  Spontaneous emission is a fundamental out-of-equilibrium process in which an excited quantum emitter relaxes to the ground state due to quantum fluctuations. One way to modify these photon-mediated interactions is to alter the dipole radiation patterns of the emitter, e.g., by placing photonic crystals near them. Our study delves into the interaction between these directional emission patterns and the aforementioned variables, revealing the untapped potential to fine-tune collective quantum optical phenomena.

  Quasiparticles are emergent excitations of matter that underlie much of our understanding of quantum many-body systems. We take advantage of the clean setting of homogeneous quantum gases and fast radio-frequency control to manipulate Fermi polarons. We measure the decay rate and the quasiparticle residue of the driven polaron from the Rabi oscillations between the two internal states.

  Conical intersections are crossing points or lines between two or more adiabatic electronic potential energy surfaces. We predict significant or measurable non-adiabatic effects in an ultracold atom-ion charge-exchange reaction. In the laser frequency window, where conical interactions are present, the difference in rate coefficients can be as large as $10-9$ cm$3$/s.

  Non-Hermitian systems have recently attracted broad interest and exhibited intriguing physical phenomena.

We find the excitation of the collective atomic states concentrates in the middle interface, pointing towards the non-Hermitian skin effect.

• Universal pair-polaritons in a strongly interacting Fermi gas [0.0]
  We report on experiments using molecular transitions in a strongly interacting Fermi gas, directly coupling cavity photons to pairs of atoms. The dependence of the pair-polariton spectrum on interatomic interactions is universal, independent of the transition used. This represents a magnification of many-body effects by two orders of magnitude in energy.

  We consider the cooperative spontaneous emission of a system of two identical atoms, interacting with the electromagnetic field in the vacuum state. Using time-dependent theory, we investigate the spectrum of the radiation emitted by the two-atom system. We show that it is modulated in time, and that the presence of the oscillating mirror can enhance or inhibit the decay rate.

Our results open intriguing opportunities to study the onset of thermalization in a system by controlling the internal interactions within the bath.
