• Abstract: Photons strongly coupled to material systems constitute a novel system for studying the dynamics of non-equilibrium quantum many-body systems. We give a fully analytical description of the dynamics of photons coupled to a one-dimensional array of two-level atoms. The description incorporates input, scattering inside the medium, and the ejection of photons from the array. We show that inelastic collisions, previously identified in small systems, also occur in infinite systems and elucidate the physics behind this effect. The developed theory constitutes an effective field theory for the dynamics, which can be used as a starting point for studies of many-body dynamics. We discuss different parameter regimes and touch upon possible applications and the limit of many excitations.

  We study theoretically an array of two-level qubits moving relative to a one-dimensional waveguide. When the frequency of this motion approaches twice the qubit resonance frequency, it induces parametric generation of photons and excitation of the qubits. We develop a comprehensive general theoretical framework that incorporates both perturbative diagrammatic techniques and a rigorous master-equation approach.

For three photons, the formation of vortex lines and a central vortex ring attests to a genuine three-photon interaction.

  Entanglement in high-dimensional quantum systems, where one or more degrees of freedom of light are involved, offers increased information capacities and enables new quantum protocols. Here, we demonstrate a functional source of high-dimensional, noise-resilient hyperentangled states encoded in time-frequency and vector-vortex structured modes. We generate highly entangled photon pairs at telecom wavelength that we characterise via two-photon interference and quantum state tomography, achieving near-unity visibilities and fidelities.
