Quantum geometry has been identified as an important ingredient for the physics of quantum materials and especially of flat-band systems, such as moir\'e materials. On the other hand, the coupling between light and matter is of key…
Light-matter coupling involving classical and quantum light offers a wide range of possibilities to tune the electronic properties of correlated quantum materials. Two paradigmatic results are the dynamical localization of electrons and the…
Controlling the topological properties of quantum matter is a major goal of condensed matter physics. A major effort in this direction has been devoted to using classical light in the form of Floquet drives to manipulate and induce states…
We use Floquet theory and the High-Frequency expansion to derive an effective Hamiltonian for electrons coupled to an off resonant cavity mode, either in its vacuum or driven by classical light. For vacuum fields, we show that long-range…
We investigate Floquet engineering in a sawtooth chain -- a minimal model hosting a nearly flat band endowed with nontrivial quantum geometry -- coupled to driven surface polaritons. In this paradigmatic flat band model, light-matter…
The hybridization between light and matter forms the basis to achieve cavity control over quantum materials. In this work we investigate a cavity coupled to an XXZ quantum chain of interacting spinless fermions by numerically exact…
Recent experimental advances enable the manipulation of quantum matter by exploiting the quantum nature of light. However, paradigmatic exactly solvable models, such as the Dicke, Rabi or Jaynes-Cummings models for quantum-optical systems,…
Dissipative light-matter coupling plays a vital role in non-Hermitian physics, but it remains largely unexplored in waveguide QED systems. In this work, we find that by employing pseudo-Hermitian symmetry rather than anti-PT symmetry, the…
Quantum light-matter systems at strong coupling are notoriously challenging to analyze due to the need to include states with many excitations in every coupled mode. We propose a nonperturbative approach to analyze light-matter correlations…
The hybridization between light and matter is fundamental for achieving cavity-induced control over quantum materials, necessitating accurate ab initio methods for their analysis. Among these, the quantum electrodynamics Hartree-Fock…
We explore special features of quantum light-matter interactions inside structured waveguides due to their finite bandwidth, band edges, and non-trivial topological properties. We model the waveguides as either a tight-binding (TB) chain or…
It is commonly believed that light cannot couple to the collective excitations of the fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE). This assumption relies on Kohn's theorem that states that electron-electron interactions decouple from homogeneous…
Irradiation with light provides a powerful tool to interrogate, control or induce new quantum states of matter out of equilibrium, however a microscopic understanding of light-matter coupling in interacting electron systems remains a…
Coherent interactions between time-periodic electromagnetic fields and materials offer a powerful platform for engineering light-matter hybrid Floquet states with tailored functionalities. In particular, the ability to manipulate the…
We discuss the problem of gauge fixing for strongly correlated electrons coupled to quantum light, described by projected low-energy models such as those obtained within tight-binding methods. Drawing from recent results in the field of…
Since its inception, research of cavity quantum electrodynamics (CQED) has extended our understanding of light-matter interactions and our ability to utilize them. Thus far, all the work in this field has been focused on light interacting…
Light-matter interaction is crucial to both understanding fundamental phenomena and developing versatile applications. Strong coupling, robustness, and controllability are the three most important aspects in realizing light-matter…
Quadratic light-matter interactions are nonlinear couplings such that quantum emitters interact with photonic or phononic modes exclusively via the exchange of excitation pairs. Implementable with atomic and solid-state systems, these…
Floquet engineering, the control of quantum systems using periodic driving, is an old concept in condensed matter physics, dating back to ideas such as the inverse Faraday effect. There is a renewed interest in this concept owing to the…
We investigate the light-cone-like spread of electronic correlations in a laser-driven quantum chain. Using the time-dependent density matrix renormalization group, we show that high-frequency driving leads to a Floquet-engineered spread…
