Atomic correlations in superradiance
ORAL
Abstract
Superradiance is a cooperative many-body phenomenon where identical two-level atoms collectively emit a burst of radiation. Here, we investigate the superradiance of atoms coupled to a bad cavity, elucidate how the light field builds up, and show that the radiation rate is determined by atomic correlations. In particular, we identify experimentally realistic protocols to control the burst time by engineering atomic correlations in an optical lattice.
