Multi-photon scattering in subwavelength atomic arrays

POSTER

Abstract

Free-space photons interact weakly with single atoms, but subwavelength atomic arrays enhance these interactions, creating long-lived collective excitations (subradiant states) with quantum information potential. We develop a scattering formalism for few-excitation interactions with atomic nonlinearities, revealing universal scattering features and two-excitation subradiance.
