Superradiance and subradiance states in an entangled ensemble of Sr atoms in a 3D optical lattice.

Collective response in an ensemble of atoms can lead to the phenomenon of Superradiance and subradiance states. These are quantum effects and can arise due to strong interactions among atoms of the ensemble. Read more
