Coherent control in atomic chains: To trap and release a traveling excitation

We introduce a protocol for dynamical dispersion engineering in an atomic chain formed by an ordered array of multilevel atoms with subwavelength lattice constant. This chain supports dark states that are protected from dissipation and can be understood as spin waves traveling along the array. By us...
