Certain lattice wave systems in translationally invariant settings have one or more spectral
bands that are strictly flat or independent of momentum in the tight binding approximation …

Photonic synthetic materials provide an opportunity to explore the role of microscopic
quantum phenomena in determining macroscopic material properties. There are, however …

Enhancing optical nonlinearities so that they become appreciable on the single photon level
and lead to nonclassical light fields has been a central objective in quantum optics for many …

It is very common in the literature to write a Markovian quantum master equation in Lindblad
form to describe a system with multiple degrees of freedom and weakly connected to …

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 …

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 …

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 …

We present a scalable architecture for the exploration of interacting topological phases of
photons in arrays of microwave cavities, using established techniques from cavity and circuit …

We study the dynamics of lattice models of quantum spins one-half, driven by a coherent
drive and subject to dissipation. Generically the mean-field limit of these models manifests …

The interaction between light and matter remains a central topic in modern physics despite
decades of intensive research. Coupling an isolated emitter to a single mode of the …
