Nonequilibrium Many-Body Quantum Engine Driven by Time-Translation Symmetry Breaking (2020)
Journal Article

Quantum many-body systems out of equilibrium can host intriguing phenomena such as transitions to exotic dynamical states. Although this emergent behaviour can be observed in experiments, its potential for technological applications is largely unexpl...

Journal Article

We study theoretically a laser-driven one-dimensional chain of atoms interfaced with the guided optical modes of a nanophotonic waveguide. The period of the chain and the orientation of the laser field can be chosen such that emission occurs predomin...

Signatures of Associative Memory Behavior in a Multimode Dicke Model (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 American Physical Society. Dicke-like models can describe a variety of physical systems, such as atoms in a cavity or vibrating ion chains. In equilibrium these systems often feature a radical change in their behavior when switching from weak... Read More about Signatures of Associative Memory Behavior in a Multimode Dicke Model.

Vibrational dressing in kinetically constrained Rydberg spin systems (2020)
Journal Article

Quantum spin systems with kinetic constraints have become paradigmatic for exploring collective dynamical behavior in many-body systems.

Reaching the quantum Hall regime with rotating Rydberg-dressed atoms (2020)
Journal Article

Despite the striking progress in the field of quantum gases, one of their much anticipated applications—the simulation of quantum Hall states—remains elusive: all experimental approaches so far have failed in reaching a sufficiently small ratio betwe...

Collectively enhanced chiral photon emission from an atomic array near a nanofiber (2020)
Journal Article

Emitter ensembles interact collectively with the radiation field. In the case of a one-dimensional array of atoms near a nanofiber, this collective light-matter interaction does not only lead to an increased photon coupling to the guided modes within...
