- Abstract: Microscopic models based on multilevel atoms are central to controlling non-linear optical responses and coherent control of light. These models are traditionally based on single-atom responses that are then parametrically extrapolated to include collective effects, such as an enhanced response or propagation within the medium. In this work we present a systematic analysis of the cooperative effects arising in driven systems composed of multi-level atoms coupled by a common electromagnetic environment. The analysis is based on an interplay between dressed states induced by the driving field, photon exchanges, and the collective decay channels. This theory is applied to the case of four-wave mixing mediated by a pair of atoms in the diamond configuration, a nonlinear process commonly used to create correlated photon pairs. The effects of inter-atomic correlations and collective decay channels over outgoing photons are then explored. We find that the resulting correlation function changes from a Lorentzian distribution for independent atoms to a two-peaked distribution when dipole-dipole interactions are included. The two-peak structure is related to a joint action between the dressed states and the collective decay channels. Signatures of these processes are identified for existing experimental realizations. The intuition obtained from this connection helps to uncover relevant parameters that could be exploited for quantum control protocols based on dispersive and dissipative cooperative effects in multi-level systems.

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.
