Collective Light Emission: Many quantum emitters

Description

Collective Light Emission: Many quantum emitters covers several recent and essential topics related to collective light emissions from many quantum emitters. Light-matter interactions in quantum systems form one of the complicated dynamical systems. Owing to its complexity, researchers have developed new means and techniques to investigate such systems with better control of parameters and better precision to observe interesting phenomenon. These advancements provide new insights to this research direction, and this book dives into the recent progress and future of it. The book includes the basic mechanism, well-known super- and sub-radiant phenomena in free space and nanophotonic platform, applications in quantum systems, and perspectives to future directions. Additionally, several updates of this ongoing research and challenges confronted in experiments and theories are included.
