Revisiting superradiance dynamics from single diamond nanocrystals with a physically consistent model for fluorescence decay
Abstract
Superradiance in nanodiamond samples at room temperature has attracted significant attention due to its potential applications in quantum technologies. The paper by C. Bradac et al. 1 , supplemented with additional material 1 , presents a theoretical model with numerical simulations that claim to reproduce the observed experimental behavior. Our analysis reveals that this model contains equations that produce unphysical results and do not accurately describe the experimental data. We propose corrected equations that yield physically meaningful predictions, highlighting the need to revise the theoretical framework for interpreting these experiments.
