Birth, death, and revival of spontaneous emission in a three-atom system

Three identical two-level atoms in free space prepared in particular entangled single-photon excited states display a “birth,” “death,” and a nonperiodic “revival” of spontaneous emission in selected directions. Instead of recording the spontaneously emitted photon with a maximum probability at t=0...
