Non-equilibrium Fractional Quantum Hall state of light

Abstract

We investigate the quantum dynamics of systems involving small numbers of strongly interacting photons. Specifically, we develop an efficient method to investigate such systems when they are externally driven with a coherent field. Furthermore, we show how to quantify the many-body quantum state of light via correlation functions. Finally, we apply this method to two strongly interacting cases: the Bose-Hubbard and fractional quantum Hall models, and discuss an implementation of these ideas in atom-photon system.
