• Title: Superradiance, charge density waves and lattice gauge theory in a generalized Rabi-Hubbard chain
• Authors: Axel Gagge and Jonas Larson
• Abstract summary: We investigate a one-dimensional Rabi-Hubbard type of model arranged such that a qdot is sandwiched between every cavity. The role of the qdot is to transmit photons between neighboring cavities, while simultaneously acting as a photon non-linearity. We show that a limit of the model can be interpreted as a $mathbbZ$ lattice gauge theory.

• Abstract: We investigate a one-dimensional Rabi-Hubbard type of model, arranged such that a qdot is sandwiched between every cavity. The role of the qdot is to transmit photons between neighboring cavities, while simultaneously acting as a photon non-linearity. We consider three-level qdots in the $\Lambda$ configuration, where the left and right leg couples exclusively to the left or right cavity. This non-commuting interaction leads to two highly entangled incompressible phases, separated by a second order quantum phase transition: the qdot degrees-of-freedom act as a dynamical lattice for the photons and a Peierls instability breaks a second $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry which leads to a dimerization in entanglement and photon number. We also find a normal insulating phase and a superfluid phase that acts as a quantum many-body superradiant phase. In the superradiant phase, a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry is broken and the phase transition falls within the transverse field Ising model universality class. Finally, we show that a limit of the model can be interpreted as a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ lattice gauge theory.

  We consider a system of interacting spinless fermions on a two-leg triangular ladder with $pi/2$ magnetic flux per triangular plaquette. Microscopically, the system exhibits a U(1) symmetry corresponding to the conservation of total fermionic charge, and a discrete $mathbbZ$ symmetry. At the intersection of the three phases, the system features a critical point with an emergent SU(2) symmetry.

  No class-B quantum density-matrix model is available to date, capable of accurately describing coherence and photon correlations within a unified theory. Here we carry out a density-matrix theoretical approach for generic class-B lasers, and provide closed equations for the photonic and atomic reduced density matrix in the Fock basis of photons. This model enables the study of few-photon bifurcations and non-classical photon correlations in class-B laser devices, also leveraging quantum descriptions of coherently coupled nanolaser arrays.

  We compute the geometric phases acquired in both unitary and dissipative Jaynes-Cummings models. In the dissipative model, the non-unitary effects arise from the outflow of photons through the cavity walls. We show the geometric phase is robust, exhibiting a vanishing correction under a non-unitary evolution.

  We study the quantum criticality of a two-site model combining quantum Rabi models with hopping interaction. We find that the model allows the appearance of a superradiant quantum phase transition (QPT) even in the presence of strong $mathbfA2$ terms. Our work provides a way to the study of phase transitions in presence of the $mathbfA2$ terms and offers the prospect of investigating quantum-criticality physics and quantum devices in many-body systems.

By joining two structures with different spatial modulations, we find long-lived interface states which may have applications in storage and quantum information processing.
