Abstract

Here we discuss an effect of dephasing induced by a weak gravitational field on the collective radiation dynamics of an atomic system in timed single-photon Dicke states. We show that a photon absorbed by the stationary system of randomly placed stationary atoms is no longer spontaneously emitted in the direction of the impinging photon. Gravity leads to broadening of the angular distribution of emission.
