• Abstract: We propose to simulate dynamical phases of a BCS superconductor using an ensemble of cold atoms trapped in an optical cavity. Effective Cooper pairs are encoded via internal states of the atoms and attractive interactions are realized via the exchange of virtual photons between atoms coupled to a common cavity mode. Control of the interaction strength combined with a tunable dispersion relation of the effective Cooper pairs allows exploration of the full dynamical phase diagram of the BCS model, as a function of system parameters and the prepared initial state. Our proposal paves the way for the study of non-equilibrium features of quantum magnetism and superconductivity by harnessing atom-light interactions in cold atomic gases.

  This paper examines the theory of both transverse and longitudinal spin-photon coupling. We propose a method of coupling which uses the intrinsic spin-orbit interaction arising from orbital degeneracies in SiMOS qubits. We also evaluate the feasibility of a longitudinal coupling driven by an AC modulation on the qubit.

• Observing dynamical phases of BCS superconductors in a cavity QED simulator [0.0]
  In conventional superconductors, electrons with opposite momenta bind into Cooper pairs due to an attractive interaction mediated by phonons in the material. Superconductivity naturally emerges at thermal equilibrium, but can also emerge out of equilibrium when the system's parameters are abruptly changed. Here we realize an alternate way to generate the proposed dynamical phases using cavity quantum electrodynamics.

  Single-photon blockade (1PB) in the quasichiral regime of atom-photon interaction mediates via dissipative environment. We find that in the quasichiral regime, the unconventional photon blockade (UPB) always incorporates with the conventional photon blockade (CPB) in the condition of maximum chirality. Our work paves the way for 1PB towards practical applications and reveals the intriguing quantum-optics phenomena in the quasichiral light-matter interaction.
