Superradiance-induced multistability in one-dimensional driven Rydberg lattice gases (2022)
Journal Article

We study steady-state phases of a one-dimensional array of Rydberg atoms coupled by a microwave (MW) field where the higher-energy Rydberg state decays to the lower-energy one via single-body and collective (superradiant) decay. Using mean-field appr... Read More about Superradiance-induced multistability in one-dimensional driven Rydberg lattice gases.
