• Title: Intensity effects of light coupling to one- or two-atom arrays of infinite extent
• Authors: F. Robicheaux and Deepak A. Suresh
• Abstract summary: We investigate coherent reflection and transmission and incoherent scattering of photons from a single array and from a pair of arrays. For the single array case, we show how increasing the light intensity changes the probabilities for these different processes. For a pair of parallel arrays at near resonant separation, the effects from increasing light intensity can become apparent with incredibly low intensity light.

• Abstract: We theoretically and computationally investigate the behavior of infinite atom arrays when illuminated by nearly resonant light. We use higher order mean field equations to investigate the coherent reflection and transmission and incoherent scattering of photons from a single array and from a pair of arrays as a function of detuning for different values of the Rabi frequency. For the single array case, we show how increasing the light intensity changes the probabilities for these different processes. For example, the incoherent scattering probability initially increases with light intensity before decreasing at higher values. For a pair of parallel arrays at near resonant separation, the effects from increasing light intensity can become apparent with incredibly low intensity light. In addition, we derive the higher order mean field equations for these infinite arrays giving a representation that can be evaluated with a finite number of equations.

While we give analytical limits for the maximally achievable photon number, surprisingly, dephasing processes can push the photon occupations towards higher photon numbers.

  We investigate the index of an ordered arrangement of atoms, as a function of atomic density. In quantum optics, we show that ideal light-matter interactions can have a single-mode nature. At the onset of quantum chemistry, we show how two physical mechanisms can open up inelastic or spatial multi-mode light scattering processes.

We reveal the breakdown of fermionized subradiant states with increase of $f$ with emergence of short-ranged dimerized antiferromagnetic correlations.

• Quantum nonlinear optics based on two-dimensional Rydberg atom arrays [0.0]
  We explore the combination of sub-wavelength, two-dimensional atomic arrays and Rydberg interactions as a powerful platform to realize strong, coherent interactions. We show that such a system enables a coherent photon-photon gate or switch, with an error scaling significantly better than the best known scaling in a disordered ensemble. Although this a priori represents a complicated, many-body quantum driven dissipative system, we find that the behavior can be captured well by a semi-classical model.

  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.

  We study the case of perfectly mode-matched drives and the case of standing wave drives. By individually exciting eigenmodes we find that this critical intensity has a $upsilon_alpha2.5$ scaling for narrower resonances and more strongly interacting systems. The $upsilon_alpha3$ scaling also corresponds to the semiclassical result whereby quantum fluctuations between the atoms have been neglected.
