• Abstract: Determining the peak photon emission time and rate for an ensemble of $N$ quantum systems undergoing collective superradiant decay typically requires tracking the time evolution of the density operator, a process with computational costs scaling exponentially with $N$. We present compact, analytic formulas for evaluating the peak emission rate and time for initially fully excited quantum emitter ensembles, valid for any geometric configuration and emitter type. These formulas rely solely on the variance of the eigenvalues of a real symmetric $N \times N$ matrix, which describes collective dissipation. We demonstrate the versatility of these results across various environments, including free space, solid-state, and waveguide reservoirs. For large $N$ the formulas simplify further to depend on just two parameters: average nearest-neighbor spacing and emitter number. Finally, we present scaling laws and bounds on the spatial size of emitter ensembles, such that superradiance is maintained, independent of emitter number or density.

  We develop a new method of data analysis to identify microscopic processes leading to quantum phase transitions (QPTs) We show that for many systems, the scaled data near QPTs can be approximated by the generic exponential dependence introduced in the scaling theory of localization. We have also conjectured that for interacting systems, the temperature cuts the renormalization group flow at the length travelled by a system-specific elementary excitation.

  Superradiance of atomic arrays at sub-wavelength spacings has regained substantial interest. We develop a semiclassical approach to this problem that allows to describe the coherent and dissipative many-body dynamics of interacting spins. For small arrays we compare to exact simulations and a second order cumulant expansion. We conclude by studying the radiative properties of a spatially extended three-dimensional, coherently driven gas.
