Super-radiance reveals infinite-range dipole interactions through a nanofiber

The confinement of electromagnetic field in one dimension is known to allow peculiar effects such as infinite-range coupling. Here, the authors report on the observation of light-mediated infinite-range interactions between spatially separated atomic clouds mediated by an optical nanofiber.
