• Abstract: We analyze here the collective emission dynamics from ensembles of multilevel atoms. We show that the photonic states emitted by the multilevel atoms superradiance process exhibit entanglement in the modal (frequency) degree of freedom, making ensembles of such atoms candidates for fast and deterministic sources of entangled photons. The photonic entanglement is controlled by modifying the excitation of the atomic ensemble. This entanglement is driven by two mechanisms: (i) excitation of the atomic ensemble to a superimposed (combination) state and (ii) degeneracies of the transitions due to internal structure of the emitting atoms, resulting in intricate non-radiative virtual transitions in the ensemble, which create interatomic correlations that are imprinted onto the emitted photons. In addition, we dwell on the correlations of the superradiating atomic ensembles and their dynamics, and demonstrate a case where inter-atomic correlations exhibit beating in steady-state due to the aforementioned virtual transitions. A mode-independent entangled photon source is also demonstrated and discussed.

  We present a systematic analysis of the cooperative effects arising in driven systems composed of multilevel atoms coupled via a common electromagnetic environment. The dependence of single and two-photon correlations are studied in detail for each region by varying atomic orientations. It is found that the anisotropy of the dipole-dipole interaction and its wave nature are essential to understand the behavior of the photons correlations.

• Directional spontaneous emission in photonic crystal slabs [49.1574468325115]
  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.

  We show how photon-mediated interactions give rise to a plaquette-ordered bond pattern in the atomic ground state. The pattern opens a non-trivial topological gap in 2D, resulting in a higher-order topological phase hosting corner states. Our work shows how atomic quantum simulators can be harnessed to investigate novel strongly-correlated topological phenomena.

  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 use intuition to predict the formation of non-trivial photonic steady-states in one and two dimensions. We show that subradiant emitter configurations are linked to the emergence of steady-state light-localization in the driven-dissipative setting. These results shed light on the recently reported optically-defined cavities in polaritonic lattices.

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.
