Single Photon Subradiance: Quantum Control of Spontaneous Emission and Ultrafast Readout
Single Photon Subradiance: Quantum Control of Spontaneous Emission and Ultrafast Readout
Recent work has shown that collective single photon emission from an ensemble of resonate two-level atoms, i.e., single photon superradiance, is a rich field of study. The present Letter addresses the flip side of superradiance, i.e., subradiance. Single photon subradiant states are potentially stable against collective spontaneous emission and can …
