Hydrodynamic superradiance in wave-mediated cooperative tunneling
Superradiance and subradiance occur in quantum optics when the emission rate of photons from multiple atoms is enhanced and diminished, respectively, owing to interaction between neighboring atoms. We here demonstrate a classical analog thereof in a theoretical model of droplets walking on a vibrati...

Summary: | Superradiance and subradiance occur in quantum optics when the emission rate of photons from multiple atoms is enhanced and diminished, respectively, owing to interaction between neighboring atoms. We here demonstrate a classical analog thereof in a theoretical model of droplets walking on a vibrating bath. Two droplets are confined to identical two-level systems, a pair of wells between which the drops may tunnel, joined by an intervening coupling cavity. The resulting classical superradiance is rationalized in terms of the system's non-Markovian, pilot-wave dynamics. |
