Subradiance protected excitation transport

We investigate collective behaviour that appears in open, many-body systems of two- and four-level atoms. Here, ``open" refers to the system interacting with an external environment that causes dissipation. We derive a general open quantum master equation to describe the system dynamics only, i...
