- Authors: Roni Ben-Maimon, Yakov Solomons, and Ephraim Shahmoon
- Abstract summary: We consider an atomic array illuminated by a paraxial beam of a squeezed-vacuum field.
quantum-squeezing correlations are dissipatively transferred to the array atoms, resulting in an atomic spin-squeezed steady state.
We discuss applications in atomic clocks both in optical and microwave domains.

- Abstract: We show how the directional collective response of atomic arrays to light can
be exploited for the dissipative generation of entangled atomic states,
relevant for e.g. quantum metrology. We consider an atomic array illuminated by
a paraxial beam of a squeezed-vacuum field and demonstrate that
quantum-squeezing correlations are dissipatively transferred to the array
atoms, resulting in an atomic spin-squeezed steady state. We find that the
entanglement transfer efficiency and hence the degree of spin squeezing are
determined by the resonant optical reflectivity of the array. Considering
realistic cases of finite-size array and illuminating beam, we find how the
spin-squeezing strength scales with system parameters, such as the number of
layers in the array and its spatial overlap with the beam. We discuss
applications in atomic clocks both in optical and microwave domains.

We have developed a theory of parametric photon generation in the waveguides coupled to arrays of quantum emitters with temporally modulated resonance frequencies.
Such generation can be interpreted as a dynamical Casimir effect.
We demonstrate numerically and analytically how the emission directionality and photon-photon correlations can be controlled by the phases of the modulation.

We show how bound states in the continuum (BICs) which are completely decoupled from radiative states emerge in non-Bravais lattices of emitters.
We discuss how thanks to the quasi-BICs, a rich phenomenology takes place in the reflectivity spectrum, with asymmetric Fano resonances and an electromagnetically induced transparency window.

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 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.

We show how to achieve quantum control of an incident single-photon pulse by engineering a two-dimensional atomic array.
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.
