Ultrastrong coupling between light and matter

A Frisk Kockum, A Miranowicz, S De Liberato… - Nature Reviews …, 2019 - nature.com
Ultrastrong coupling between light and matter has, in the past decade, transitioned from a
theoretical idea to an experimental reality. It is a new regime of quantum light–matter …

Theoretical methods for ultrastrong light–matter interactions

A Le Boité - Advanced Quantum Technologies, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
This article reviews theoretical methods developed in the last decade to understand cavity
quantum electrodynamics in the ultrastrong‐coupling regime, where the strength of the light …

One photon can simultaneously excite two or more atoms

L Garziano, V Macrì, R Stassi, O Di Stefano, F Nori… - Physical review …, 2016 - APS
We consider two separate atoms interacting with a single-mode optical or microwave
resonator. When the frequency of the resonator field is twice the atomic transition frequency …

Multiphoton quantum Rabi oscillations in ultrastrong cavity QED

L Garziano, R Stassi, V Macrì, AF Kockum, S Savasta… - Physical Review A, 2015 - APS
When an atom is strongly coupled to a cavity, the two systems can exchange a single photon
through a coherent Rabi oscillation. This process enables precise quantum-state …

Nonperturbative dynamical Casimir effect in optomechanical systems: Vacuum Casimir-Rabi splittings

V Macrì, A Ridolfo, O Di Stefano, AF Kockum, F Nori… - Physical Review X, 2018 - APS
We study the dynamical Casimir effect using a fully quantum-mechanical description of both
the cavity field and the oscillating mirror. We do not linearize the dynamics, nor do we adopt …

Dissipation and thermal noise in hybrid quantum systems in the ultrastrong-coupling regime

A Settineri, V Macrí, A Ridolfo, O Di Stefano… - Physical Review A, 2018 - APS
The interaction among the components of a hybrid quantum system is often neglected when
considering the coupling of these components to an environment. However, if the interaction …

Virtual photons in the ground state of a dissipative system

S De Liberato - Nature communications, 2017 - nature.com
Much of the novel physics predicted to be observable in the ultrastrong light–matter coupling
regime rests on the hybridisation between states with different numbers of excitations …
