• Abstract: We revisit the interaction of a first-quantized atomic system (consisting of two charged quantum particles) with the quantum electromagnetic field, pointing out the subtleties related to the gauge nature of electromagnetism and the effect of multipole approximations. We connect the full minimal-coupling model with the typical effective models used in quantum optics and relativistic quantum information such as the Unruh-DeWitt (UDW) model and the dipole coupling approximation. We point out in what regimes different degrees of approximation are reasonable and in what cases effective models need to be refined to capture the features of the light-matter interaction. This is particularly important when considering the center of mass (COM) of the atom as a quantum system that can be delocalized over multiple trajectories. For example, we show that the simplest UDW approximation with a quantum COM fails to capture crucial R\"ontgen terms coupling COM and internal atomic degrees of freedom with each other and the field. Finally we show how effective dipole interaction models can be covariantly prescribed for relativistically moving atoms.

  We present a programmable trapped-ion quantum simulator of an Ising model with all-to-all connectivity with up to four spins. We implement the spin-spin interactions by using the coupling of trapped ions to multiple collective motional modes. We confirm the programmed interaction geometry by observing the ground states of the corresponding models through quantum state tomography.

  We design radiation patterns capable of creating effective light-matter interactions suited to applications in quantum computing, quantum simulation and quantum sensing. On the one hand, we have used dynamical decoupling techniques to design quantum operations that are robust against errors in environmental and control fields. On the other hand, we have studied generalised models of light-matter interaction, leading to the discovery of selective multi-photon interactions in the Rabi-Stark model.
