In this review we discuss the works in the area of quantum simulation and many-body
physics with light, from the early proposals on equilibrium models to the more recent works …

Since their inception, about 20 years ago, hollow-core photonic crystal fiber and its gas-filled
form are now establishing themselves both as a platform in advancing our knowledge on …

We investigate the collective optomechanics of an ensemble of scatterers inside a Fabry-
Pérot resonator and identify an optimized configuration where the ensemble is transmissive …

The coupling of weak light fields to Rydberg states of atoms under conditions of
electromagnetically induced transparency leads to the formation of Rydberg polaritons …

Unlike photons, which are conveniently handled by mirrors and optical fibres without loss of
coherence, atoms lose their coherence via atom–atom and atom–wall interactions. This …

Controlling coherent interaction between optical fields and quantum systems in scalable,
integrated platforms is essential for quantum technologies. Miniaturised, warm alkali-vapour …

Coherent interactions between electromagnetic and matter waves lie at the heart of quantum
science and technology. However, the diffraction nature of light has limited the scalability of …

We report on the preparation of a one-dimensional ultracold medium in a hollow-core
photonic crystal fiber, reaching an effective optical depth of 1000 (150). We achieved this …

We report on an observation of stationary light pulses and narrowband light storage inside a
hollow-core photonic crystal fiber. Laser-cooled atoms were first loaded into the fiber core …

We investigate the Rabi oscillation of an atom placed inside a quantum cavity where each
mirror is formed by a chain of atoms trapped near a one-dimensional waveguide. This …
