报告内容简介:

An ensemble of excited atoms can synchronize emission of light collectively in a process known as superradiance when its characteristic size is smaller than the wavelength of emitted photons. The underlying superradiance depends strongly on electromagnetic fields surrounding the atomic ensemble. We show, both theoretically and experimentally, that the van der Waals interactions between Rydberg atoms change the superradiant dynamics and modify the scaling of the superradiance. Furthermore, when Rydberg atoms are coupled by a microwave field, a series of stationary phases, including uniform, antiferromagnetic, oscillatory, and bistable and multistable phases can be obtained.  Our numerical simulations show that the bistable and multistable phases are stabilized by superradiance in a long, one dimensional chain. This setting even allows us to observe non-stationary, oscillatory phases. Our study shows that novel phases and dynamics can be engineered by the dissipation and interactions of Rydberg atoms.
