Signatures of Superradiance as a Witness to Multipartite Entanglement.

Generation and detection of entanglement is at the forefront of most quantum information technologies. There is a plethora of techniques that reveal entanglement on the basis of only partial information about the underlying quantum state, including entanglement witnesses. Superradiance refers to the phenomenon of highly synchronized photon emission from an ensemble of quantum emitters that is caused by correlations among the individual particles and has been connected by Dicke himself to the presence of multipartite entangled states.

A quantum optical study of thresholdless lasing features in high-β nitride nanobeam cavities.

Exploring the limits of spontaneous emission coupling is not only one of the central goals in the development of nanolasers, it is also highly relevant regarding future large-scale photonic integration requiring energy-efficient coherent light sources with a small footprint. Recent studies in this field have triggered a vivid debate on how to prove and interpret lasing in the high-β regime. We investigate close-to-ideal spontaneous emission coupling in GaN nanobeam lasers grown on silicon.
