Unidirectional absorption, storage, and emission of single photons in a collectively responding bilayer atomic array

Two-dimensional regular arrays of atoms are a promising platform for quantum networks, with collective subradiant states providing long-lived storage and collimated emission allowing for natural coherent links between arrays in free space. However, a single-layer lattice can only efficiently absorb...
