• Abstract: We introduce kinetically constrained superradiance, a form of cooperative emission in which interactions imprint configuration-dependent energy shifts on optical transitions, splitting Dicke superradiance into multiple, frequency-resolved collective decay channels. Each channel selectively radiates from distinct many-body spin configurations, generating a hierarchy of dissipative time scales and sequential relaxation dynamics. Unlike conventional superradiance, where permutation symmetry enforces relaxation to a trivial steady state, configuration-selective emission can trap finite-momentum spin-wave excitations and stabilize long-lived entanglement. Remarkably, these correlations are generated purely by dissipation in the absence of entangling coherent dynamics. Our results point to modern superradiant experiments as scalable resources for dissipative engineering of correlated quantum states.
