• Abstract summary: We explore the potential of twisted light as a tool to unveil many-body effects in parabolically confined systems. We demonstrate the ability of the proposed twisted light probe to capture the transition of interacting fermions into a strongly correlated regime. These features, observed in exact calculations for two electrons, are reproduced in adiabatic Time Dependent Density Functional Theory simulations.

• Abstract: We explore the potential of twisted light as a tool to unveil many-body effects in parabolically confined systems. According to the Generalized Kohn Theorem, the dipole response of such a multi-particle system to a spatially homogeneous probe is indistinguishable from the response of a system of non-interacting particles. Twisted light however can excite internal degrees of freedom, resulting in the appearance of new peaks in the even multipole spectrum which are not present when the probe is a plane wave. We also demonstrate the ability of the proposed twisted light probe to capture the transition of interacting fermions into a strongly correlated regime in a one-dimensional harmonic trap. We report that by suitable choice of the probe's parameters, the transition into a strongly correlated phase manifests itself as an approach and ultimate superposition of peaks in the second order quadrupole response. These features, observed in exact calculations for two electrons, are reproduced in adiabatic Time Dependent Density Functional Theory simulations.

  We study a dense ensemble illuminated by a strong coherent drive while interacting via dipole-dipole interactions. Although the steady-state features some similarities to the reported superradiant to normal non-induced transition, we observe significant qualitative and quantitative differences. We develop a simple theoretical model that explains the scaling properties by accounting for interaction-equilibrium inhomogeneous effects and spontaneous emission.

  Two non-identical quantum emitters, when placed within a cavity and coherently excited at the two-photon resonance, can reach stationary states of nearly maximal entanglement. We show that this mechanism is merely one among a complex family of phenomena that can generate both stationary and metastable entanglement when driving the emitters at the two-photon resonance.

  Hybrid quantum systems in the ultrastrong, and even more in the deep-strong, coupling regimes can exhibit exotic physical phenomena. We experimentally observe the parity symmetry breaking of an ancillary Xmon artificial atom induced by the field of a lumped-element superconducting resonator. This result opens a way to experimentally explore the novel quantum-vacuum effects emerging in the deep-strong coupling regime.

The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.
