Abstract: Long-range interactions between emitters give rise to collective phenomena, including superradiance, spin squeezing, and coherence protection, that are important to both fundamental physics and quantum technologies. Despite progress in cold atoms, coherent cavity-mediated all-to-all interactions have not yet been realized in a solid-state ensemble. Here we demonstrate such interactions in a $^{171}$Yb$^{3+}$:CaWO$_4$ crystal coupled to a microwave resonator, observing superradiant emission on resonance and unitary one-axis twisting dynamics in the dispersive regime. The same interaction also opens a many-body energy gap that suppresses inhomogeneous dephasing, extending the ensemble Ramsey coherence time from tens of microseconds to milliseconds without decoupling pulses. These results establish a solid-state platform for collective many-body physics with direct implications for quantum technologies. Specifically, the observed one-axis twisting dynamics opens a path towards spin squeezing for entanglement-enhanced quantum metrology, and the extended coherence due to gap-protection is relevant for both microwave photon storage and precision measurement.

Dissipative stabilization of maximal entanglement between non-identical emitters via two-photon excitation [49.1574468325115]
Two non-identical quantum emitters, when placed within a cavity and coherently excited at the two-photon resonance, can reach stationary states of nearly maximal entanglement. We show that this mechanism is merely one among a complex family of phenomena that can generate both stationary and metastable entanglement when driving the emitters at the two-photon resonance.
