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. We investigate this connection in a quantitative way and discuss whether or not signatures of superradiance from semiconductor nanolasers, manifesting themselves as a modification of the spontaneous-emission time, can be interpreted as a witness to detect entanglement in the underlying state of the emitters.

The coupling of ultracold quantum gases to an optical cavity provides an ideal system for studying the novel long-range interacting nonequilibrium dynamics. Here we report an experimental observation of the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of a degenerate Fermi gas in the cavity after quenching the pump strength over a superradiant quantum phase transition. The relaxation dynamics exhibits impressively different stages of a delay, violent relaxation, long-lifetime prethermalization, and slowly final thermalization due to the photon-mediated long-range interaction with dissipation.

Cold atoms provide a flexible platform for synthesizing and characterizing topological matter, where geometric phases play a central role. However, cold atoms are intrinsically prone to thermal noise, which can overwhelm the topological response and hamper promised applications. On the other hand, geometric phases also determine the energy spectra of particles subjected to a static force, based on the polarization relation between Wannier-Stark ladders and geometric Zak phases.

Gravitational waves (GWs) are an exciting new probe of physics beyond the standard models of gravity and particle physics. One interesting possibility is provided by the so-called "gravitational atom," wherein a superradiant instability spontaneously forms a cloud of ultralight bosons around a rotating black hole. The presence of these boson clouds affects the dynamics of black hole binary inspirals and their associated GW signals.

The control and manipulation of quantum-entangled states is crucial for the development of quantum technologies. A promising route is to couple solid-state quantum emitters through their optical dipole-dipole interactions. Entanglement in itself is challenging, as it requires both nanometric distances between emitters and nearly degenerate electronic transitions.
