The interaction of light and matter at the single-photon level is of central importance in various fields of physics, including, eg, condensed matter physics, astronomy, quantum …
The interaction between quantized electromagnetic fields in cavities and natural or artificial atoms has played a crucial role in developing our understanding of light-matter interactions …
The formalism for non-Hermitian quantum systems sometimes blurs the underlying physics. We present a systematic study of the vielbeinlike formalism which transforms the Hilbert …
The Dicke model, which describes the dipolar coupling between N two-level atoms and a quantized electromagnetic field, seemingly violates gauge invariance in the presence of …
We consider a model of free fermions in a ladder geometry coupled to a non-uniform cavity mode via Peierls substitution. Since the cavity mode generates a magnetic field, no-go …
The prototypical system constituted by a two-level atom interacting with a quantized single- mode electromagnetic field is described by the quantum Rabi model (QRM). The QRM is …
A quantum dipole interacting with an optical cavity is one of the key models in cavity quantum electrodynamics (cavity-QED). To treat this system theoretically, the typical …
We introduce a gauge-invariant model of planar, square molecules coupled to a quantized spatially varying cavity electromagnetic vector potential A ̂ (r). Specifically, we choose a …
The loss of gauge invariance in models of light-matter interaction which arises from material and photonic space truncation can pose significant challenges to conventional quantum …
