• Abstract: Strong collective interaction of atoms with an optical cavity causes normal mode splitting of the cavity's resonances, whose width is given by the collective coupling strength. At low optical density of the atomic cloud the intensity distribution of light in the cavity is ruled by the cavity's mode function, which is solely determined by its geometry. In this regime the dynamics of the coupled atom-cavity system is conveniently described by the open Dicke model, which we apply to calculating normal mode splitting generated by periodically ordered clouds in linear and ring cavities. We also show how to use normal mode splitting as witness for Wannier-Bloch oscillations in the tight-binding limit. At high optical density the atomic distribution contributes to shaping the mode function. This regime escapes the open Dicke model, but can be treated by a transfer matrix model provided the saturation parameter is low. Applying this latter model to an atomic cloud periodically ordered into a one-dimensional lattice, we observe the formation of photonic bands gaps competing with the normal mode splitting. We discuss the limitations of both models and point out possible pathways to generalized theories.

  Atoms coupled to cavities provide an exciting playground for the study of fundamental interactions of atoms mediated through a common channel. Many of the applications of cavity-QED and cold-atom experiments more broadly, suffer from limitations caused by the transient nature of an atomic loading cycle. We present a machine designed to produce a continuous flux of collimated atoms that traverse an optical cavity.

We show that the temporal fluctuations of the expectation value of the collective spin observable around its average are small and decrease with the effective system size.

• Correlated steady states and Raman lasing in continuously pumped and probed atomic ensembles [68.8204255655161]
  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.

• Bosonic pair production and squeezing for optical phase measurements in long-lived dipoles coupled to a cavity [0.0]
  Entanglement between atoms, generated by the exchange of virtual photons through a common cavity mode, grows exponentially fast. We propose to exploit this for quantum-enhanced sensing of an optical phase (common and differential between two ensembles) Our proposal can open unique opportunities for the observation of continuous variable entanglement in atomic systems and associated applications in next-generation optical atomic clocks.

• Cavity Sub- and Superradiance Enhanced Ramsey Spectroscopy [0.0]
  Ramsey spectroscopy in large, dense ensembles of ultra-cold atoms trapped in optical lattices suffers from dipole-dipole interaction induced shifts and collective superradiance limiting its precision and accuracy. We propose a novel geometry implementing fast signal readout with minimal heating for large atom numbers at lower densities via an optical cavity operated in the weak single atom but strong collective coupling regime.

  We compute the geometric phases acquired in both unitary and dissipative Jaynes-Cummings models. In the dissipative model, the non-unitary effects arise from the outflow of photons through the cavity walls. We show the geometric phase is robust, exhibiting a vanishing correction under a non-unitary evolution.

  In this work we use an open microcavity composed of a "bottom" semiconductor distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) incorporating an n-i-p heterostructure. We demonstrate a reversible in-situ technique to tune the mode-splitting by applying uniaxial stress to the semiconductor DBR. A thorough study of the mode-splitting and its tuning across the stop-band leads to a quantitative understanding of the mechanism behind the results.
