We explore the self-interacting dark matter scenario in a simple dark sector model where the dark matter interacts through a dark photon. Splitting a Dirac fermion dark matter into two levels using a small Majorana mass can evade strong…

We investigate the bulk topological proximity effect in multilayer hexagonal lattice systems by which one can introduce topological properties into a system composed of multiple trivial layers by tunnel coupling to a single nontrivial layer…

The emergence of a flat band in Dirac-Weyl materials offers new possibilities for electronic transitions, leading to stronger interaction with light. As a result, the optical conductivity can be significantly enhanced in these flat-band…

We analyse the interaction between charges and graphene layers. The electric polarisability of graphene induces a force, that can be described by an image charge. The analysis shows that graphene can be described as an imperfect conductor…

The coupled-wires approach has been shown to be useful in describing two-dimensional strongly interacting topological phases. In this manuscript we extend this approach to three-dimensions, and construct a model for a fractional strong…

We present a theoretical framework for nonlinear optics of graphene and other 2D materials in layered structures. We derive a key equation to find the effective electric field and the sheet current density in the 2D material for given…

I introduce and analyse chiral light--matter interaction in the ultrastrong coupling limit where the rotating-wave approximation cannot be made. Within this limit, a two-level system (TLS) with a circularly polarized transition dipole…

Topological insulators (TIs) are novel materials that manifest spin-polarized Dirac states on their surfaces or at interfaces made with conventional matter. We have measured the electron kinetics of bulk doped TI Bi$_2$Se$_3$ with angle…

The formulation of the interaction of matter with singular light fields needs special care. In a recent article [Phys.~Rev.~A {\bf 91}, 033808 (2015)] we have shown that the Hamiltonian describing the interaction of a twisted light beam…

Adding a small subdominant quadratic in momentum term to a dominant linear Dirac dispersion curve affects conduction and valence band differently and leads to an hourglass-like structure for energy as a function of momentum. This applies to…

Black phosphorus (BP) is a two-dimensional layered material composed of phosphorus atoms. Recently, it was demonstrated that external perturbations such as an electric field close the band gap in few-layer BP, and can even induce a band…

The emerging two-dimensional (2D) materials exhibit a wide range of electronic properties, ranging from insulating hexagonal boron nitride, semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides such as molybdenum disulfide, to semi-metallic…

Through understanding Maxwell's equations as an effective Dirac equation (the `optical Dirac equation'), we re--examine the relationship between electromagnetic interface states and topology. We illustrate a simple case where…

We investigate the control of interacting matter through strong coupling to a single electromagnetic mode, such as the photon mode in a Fabry-Perot or split-ring cavity. For this purpose, we analyze the exact effective theory for the…

In the last decade, much theoretical research has focused on studying the strong coupling between organic molecules (or quantum emitters, in general) and light modes. The description and prediction of polaritonic phenomena emerging in this…

Many-body interactions in crystalline solids can be conveniently described in terms of quasiparticles with strongly renormalized masses as compared to those of non-interacting particles. Examples of extreme mass renormalization are on the…

Matter-wave optics is often viewed as a linear analogue of photonics, where noninteracting particles are coherently split, diffracted, and recombined, and interference arises from single-particle coherence. In ultracold quantum gases,…

This thesis studies light-matter interactions in strong and weak coupling regimes. In the first part, we study the formation and propagation of exciton-polariton condensates in different microcavities in the strong coupling regime.…

Based on the Dirac equations in the two-dimensional $\pi-$ flux model, we study the interaction effects both in nontrivial gapped and gapless Dirac equations with numerical exact diagonalization method. In the presence of the nearest and…

We propose and show that application of light leads to an intriguing platform for controlling exceptional points in non-Hermitian topological systems. We demonstrate our proposal using three different non-Hermitian systems -- nodal line…
