• Abstract: We study superradiant masing in a hybrid system composed of nitrogen-vacancy center spins in diamond coupled to a superconducting microwave cavity. After the first fast superradiant decay we observe transient pulsed and then quasi-continuous masing. This emission dynamics can be described by a phenomenological model incorporating the transfer of inverted spin excitations into the superradiant window of spins resonant with the cavity. After experimentally excluding cQED effects associated with the pumping of the masing transition we conjecture that direct higher-order spin-spin interactions are responsible for creating the dynamics and the transition to the sustained masing. Our experiment thus opens up a novel way to explore many-body physics in disordered systems through cQED and superradiance.

  We explore cooperative dynamics of quantum emitters in an optical lattice that interact by radiating atomic matter waves. We demonstrate directional super- and subradiance from a superfluid phase with tunable radiative phase lags. We observe a coupling to collective bound states with radiation trapped at and between the emitters.

  Dicke superradiance describes the collective radiative decay of a fully inverted ensemble of two-level atoms. We experimentally investigate this effect for a chiral, i.e.,direction-dependent light--matter coupling. Our results shed light on the collective radiative dynamics of cascaded quantum many-body systems.

  We experimentally investigate individual spin dynamics in a two-dimensional ensemble of electron spins on the surface of a diamond crystal. We show that this anomalously slow relaxation rate is due to the presence of strong dynamical disorder.

• Anisotropic electron-nuclear interactions in a rotating quantum spin bath [55.41644538483948]
  Spin-bath interactions are strongly anisotropic, and rapid physical rotation has long been used in solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance. We show that the interaction between electron spins of nitrogen-vacancy centers and a bath of $13$C nuclear spins introduces decoherence into the system. Our findings offer new insights into the use of physical rotation for quantum control with implications for quantum systems having motional and rotational degrees of freedom that are not fixed.

  We study the spin diffusion dynamics of 13C in diamond, which we dynamically polarize at room temperature via optical spin pumping of engineered color centers. We find good thermal contact throughout the nuclear spin bath, virtually independent of the hyperfine coupling strength. Our results open intriguing opportunities to study the onset of thermalization in a system by controlling the internal interactions within the bath.
