Dicke Phase Transition with Multiple Superradiant States in Quantum Chaotic Resonators

Dicke Phase Transition with Multiple Superradiant States in Quantum Chaotic Resonators

We experimentally investigate the Dicke phase transition in chaotic optical resonators realized with two-dimensional photonics crystals. This setup circumvents the constraints of the system originally investigated by Dicke and allows a detailed study of the various properties of the superradiant tra...
