Abstract: Intense laser-matter interactions are at the center of interest in research and technology since the development of high power lasers. They have been widely used for fundamental studies in atomic, molecular, and optical physics, and they are at the core of attosecond physics and ultrafast opto-electronics. Although the majority of these studies have been successfully described using classical electromagnetic fields, recent investigations based on fully quantized approaches have shown that intense laser-atom interactions can be used for the generation of controllable high-photon-number entangled coherent states and coherent state superpositions. In this tutorial, we provide a comprehensive fully quantized description of intense laser-atom interactions. We elaborate on the processes of high harmonic generation, above-threshold-ionization, and we discuss new phenomena that cannot be revealed within the context of semi-classical theories. We provide the description for conditioning the light field on different electronic processes, and their consequences for quantum state engineering of light. Finally, we discuss the extension of the approach to more complex materials, and the impact to quantum technologies for a new photonic platform composed by the symbiosis of attosecond physics and quantum information science.

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.

Circuit Quantum Electrodynamics [62.997667081978825]
Quantum mechanical effects at the macroscopic level were first explored in Josephson junction-based superconducting circuits in the 1980s. In the last twenty years, the emergence of quantum information science has intensified research toward using these circuits as qubits in quantum information processors. The field of circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED) has now become an independent and thriving field of research in its own right.
