The interaction of quantum light with matter like that inside a cavity is known to give rise to mixed light-matter states called polaritons. We discuss the impact of rotation of the cavity on the polaritons. It is shown that the number of…
In recent years, a rigorous quantum mechanical model for the interaction between light and macroscopic dispersive, lossy dielectrics has emerged -macroscopic QED- allowing the application of the usual methods of quantum field theory. Here,…
Ultracold atoms uniformly filling an optical lattice can be treated like an artificial crystal. An implementation including the atomic occupation of a single excited atomic state can be represented by a two-component Bose-Hubbard model. Its…

In an electromagnetic cavity, photons can be created from the vacuum state by changing the cavity's properties with time. Using a simple model based on a massless scalar field, we analyze resonant photon creation induced by the…
The strong coupling between elementary excitations of the electromagnetic field (photons) and quantized mechanical vibrations (phonons) produces hybrid quasi-particle states, known as phonon-polaritons. Their typical signature is the…
Bosonic condensation and lasing of exciton-polaritons in microcavities is a fascinating solid-state phenomenon. It provides a versatile platform to study out-of-equilibrium many-body physics and has recently appeared at the forefront of…
Cavity-polaritons in semiconductor microstructures have emerged as a promising system for exploring nonequilibrium dynamics of many-body systems. Key advances in this field, including the observation of polariton condensation,…
When an electron-hole pair is optically excited in a semiconductor quantum dot the host crystal lattice needs to adapt to the presence of the generated charge distribution. Therefore the coupled exciton-phonon system has to establish a new…
Integrated photonics has been a promising platform for analog quantum simulation of condensed matter phenomena in strongly correlated systems. To that end, we explore the implementation of all-photonic quantum simulators in coupled cavity…
Equilibrium Bose-Einstein condensation of exciton-polaritons, demonstrated with a long-lifetime microcavity [Phys. Rev. Lett. 118, 016602 (2017)], has proven that driven-dissipative systems can undergo thermodynamic phase transitions in the…
Recent experiments have demonstrated that polariton formation provides a novel strategy for modifying local molecular processes when a large ensemble of molecules is confined within an optical cavity. Herein, a numerical strategy based on…
When an exciton in semiconductor is scattered and its energy is decreased far below the resonance energy of the bare exciton state, it has been considered that an exciton-polariton is created immediately by the scattering process, because…
Condensation of bosons causes spectacular phenomena such as superfluidity or superconductivity. Understanding the nature of the condensed particles is crucial for active control of such quantum phases. Fascinating possibilities emerge from…
We develop a microscopic theory for the multimode polariton dispersion in materials coupled to cavity radiation modes. Starting from a microscopic light-matter Hamiltonian, we devise a general strategy for obtaining simple matrix models of…
We study the spontaneous formation of exciton polariton vortices in an all-optical non-resonantly excited annular trap, which is formed by ring-shaped subpicosecond laser pulses. Since the light emitted by these vortices carries orbital…
Vibrational polaritons form in a planar Fabry-Perot microcavity when a vibrational mode of a layer of molecules is near resonant with an infrared cavity mode. Herein, dispersion relations of vibrational polaritons are studied when the…
Starting from a microscopic model, we investigate the optical spectra of molecules in strongly-coupled organic microcavities examining how they might self-consistently adapt their coupling to light. We consider both rotational and…
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…
This review outlines several linear optical effects featured by molecular polaritons arising in the collective strong light-matter coupling regime. Under weak laser irradiation and when the single-molecule light-matter coupling can be…
