This is achieved by placing the atomic sample in a resonant optical cavity. Spontaneous emission is enhanced by a combination of multiparticle entanglement together with a higher density of modes of the modified vacuum field, in a situation akin to superradiance. A specific situation is considered and we show that this effect can be experimentally observed as a large suppression in trap-loss rates.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2001-02-01T22:21:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "cold atomic collisions", "cavity qed effects", "manipulation", "spontaneous emission", "cold atoms" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
