We investigate the interaction of excitons in a two dimensional lattice and photons in a planar cavity in the presence of disorder. The strong exciton-photon coupling is described in terms of polariton quasi-particles, which are scattered…

In a circuit quantum eletrodynamic system, a chain of N qubits inhomogeneously coupled to a cavity field forms a mesoscopic quasi-lattice, which is characterized by its degree of deformation from a normal lattice. This deformation is a…

A supersolid is a counter-intuitive phase of matter where its constituent particles are arranged into a crystalline structure, yet they are free to flow without friction. This requires the particles to share a global macroscopic phase while…

We propose a projector-based renormalization framework to study exciton-polariton Bose-Einstein condensation in a microcavity matter-light system. Treating Coulomb interaction and electron-hole/photon coupling effects on an equal footing we…

We study ultracold atoms in a finite size one-dimensional optical lattice prepared in the Mott insulator phase and commonly coupled to a single cavity mode. Due to resonance dipole-dipole interactions among the atoms, electronic excitations…

We explore the behaviour of a system which consists of a photon mode dipole coupled to a medium of two-level oscillators in a microcavity in the presence of decoherence. We consider two types of decoherence processes which are analogous to…
