Abstract: Superradiant laser, which exploits the clock transition of alkaline-earth-metal-like atoms to generate ultrastable light in the bad-cavity limit, has garnered much attention in the past few decades. Unlike their odd counterpart, the even isotopes of alkaline-earth-metal-like atoms possess simpler structures and longer-lived transitions, which would relax the field control requirements and enhance the frequency stability of the output light. However, due to the absence of hyper-fine interaction in even isotopes, the transition from the state $^{3}\mathrm{P}_{0}$ to $^{1}$S$_{0}$ is strictly forbidden, leading to a vanishing coupling strength between the cavity mode and the atoms (the state $^{3}\mathrm{P}_{0}$ as a dark state). In this work, we suggest a superradiant laser scheme by dressing this dark state with a small bright component by virtue of a static magnetic field. In contrast to other proposals utilizing natural atomic transitions, our dressed-state protocol can work from the crossover regime (coherence in both atoms and photons) to the superradiant lasing regime (coherence solely in atoms). Specially, by operating deep into the superradiant lasing regime, our scheme witnesses a dramatic line-narrowing feature (mHz level) while maintaining its power. Furthermore, compared to the crossover regime, the laser frequency in the superradiant lasing regime is more robust against the fluctuations of the cavity length and magnetic field strength. Our proposal demonstrates the potential for extracting ultranarrow light from even isotopes of the alkaline-earth-metal-like atoms and may find its role in frequency stabilization and related precision measurement scenarios.

Ultra-high strained diamond spin register with coherent optical link [45.40010446596688]
Solid-state spin defects, such as color centers in diamond, are among the most promising candidates for scalable and integrated quantum technologies. We show that leveraging an ultra-high strained silicon-vacancy center inside a nanodiamond allows us to coherently and efficiently control its electron spin, while mitigating phonon-induced dephasing at liquid helium temperature. Our work paves the way for future integration of quantum network registers into conventional, well-established photonics and hybrid quantum communication systems.

Long-range interactions in Weyl dense atomic arrays protected from dissipation and disorder [41.94295877935867]
Long-range interactions are a key resource in many quantum phenomena and technologies. We show how to design the polaritonic bands of these atomic metamaterials to feature a pair of frequency-isolated Weyl points. These Weyl excitations can thus mediate interactions that are simultaneously long-range, due to their gapless nature; robust, due to the topological protection of Weyl points; and decoherence-free, due to their subradiant character.
