So far, its experimental realizations have relied on interactions mediated by rapidly escaping photons, which do not play an active role in the emitter dynamics. Here we use a platform of ultracold atoms in a one-dimensional optical lattice geometry to explore cooperative non-Markovian dynamics of synthetic quantum emitters that decay by radiating slow atomic matter waves. By preparing and manipulating arrays of emitters hosting weakly and strongly interacting many-body phases of excitations, we demonstrate directional collective emission and study the interplay between retardation and super- and subradiant dynamics. Moreover, we directly observe the spontaneous buildup of coherence among emitters. Our results on collective radiative dynamics establish ultracold matter waves as a versatile tool for studying many-body quantum optics in spatially extended and ordered systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":19100,"journal":{"name":"Nature Physics","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":19.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142665459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is the Kondo effect, originally introduced to explain the abnormal resistivity behaviour in bulk magnetic alloys, and it has been realized in many quantum systems over the past decades, ranging from heavy-fermion lattices down to adsorbed single atoms. Here we describe a Kondo system that allows us to experimentally resolve the spectral function consisting of impurity levels and a Kondo resonance in a large Kondo temperature range, as well as their spatial modulation. Our approach is based on a discrete half-filled quantum confined state within a MoS2 grain boundary, which—in conjunction with numerical renormalization group calculations—enables us to test the predictive power of the Anderson model that is the basis of the microscopic understanding of Kondo physics. Interactions between a localized magnetic moment and electrons in a metal can produce an emergent resonance that affects the metal’s properties. A realization of this Kondo effect in MoS2 provides an opportunity to study it in microscopic detail.","PeriodicalId":19100,"journal":{"name":"Nature Physics","volume":"20 1","pages":"82-87"},"PeriodicalIF":19.6,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s41567-023-02250-w.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72364975","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
