Postdoc position: Superradiance on ytterbium clock transition for frequency metrology

Superradiant lasers are based on cold atoms with a narrow-linewidth optical transition coupled to a high-finesse Fabry-Perot cavity. Superradiance emerges as the constructive quantum interference between the various decay paths from a many-body fully excited state to the ground state. A superradiant laser uses directly the enhanced atomic emission inside the cavity as the ultra-stable signal.
