Quantum interferences in cooperative Dicke emission from spatial variation of the laser phase. Physical Review Letters, 101(15), Article 153601. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.101.153601http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14446/19760We report generation of a new quantum interference effect in spontaneous emission from a resonantly driven system of two identical two-level atoms due to the spatial variation of the laser phase at the positions of the atoms. This interference affects significantly the spectral features of the emitted radiation and the quantum entanglement in the system. The interference leads to dynamic coupling of the populations and coherences in a basis, determined by the laser phase and represents a kind of vacuum mediated super-exchange between the symmetric and antisymmetric states.application/pdfThis material has been previously published.
