Description

Trevor Kling, Dong-yeop Na, and Mahdi Hosseini model how atoms arranged in a sheet inside a solid answer light together, in a 2025 paper. Optical centers implanted in materials can interact over long ranges, producing collective effects no single atom shows. Disorder, in both position and color response, complicates any design.

The authors build a framework on Green's function methods, both analytic and numerical, to compute effective atom-atom coupling with broadening included. The math handles regular and irregular lattices alike. It applies across platforms, from cold atoms to light-based devices and superconducting circuits. As a showcase, they point to designing a quantum lens by implanting ions to sculpt collective behavior. The model aims to make such atomistic engineering predictable at scale. Collective light, they argue, is a design material in its own right.
