Collective Radiance Effects in the Ultrastrong Coupling Regime

Abstract

We investigate the collective radiance characteristics of qubits in the ultrastrong coupling regime, where the radiance witness is defined based on the resonator-qubit dressed basis. The ultrastrong hyperradiance effect is demonstrated when the dressed state of system is resonantly driven. Interestingly, we show that, besides the resonator-qubit coupling strength, the parity-symmetry-breaking induced cascade-transition can significantly enhance the collective radiance of qubits, which allows us to manipulate the transitions between subradiance, superradiance, and hyperradiance via adjusting the parity symmetry of system with an external magnetic field. This work extends the collective radiance theory to the ultrastrong coupling regime, and offers the potential applications in the engineering of new laser devices.
