title: Optical superradiance from nuclear spin environment of single-photon emitters.
abstract: We show that superradiant optical emission can be observed from the polarized nuclear spin ensemble surrounding a single-photon emitter such as a single quantum dot or nitrogen-vacancy center. The superradiant light is emitted under optical pumping conditions and would be observable with realistic experimental parameters.
