• Abstract: The paradigm of $N$ quantum emitters coupled to a single cavity mode appears in many situations ranging from quantum technologies to polaritonic chemistry. The ideal case of identical emitters is elegantly modeled in terms of symmetric states, and understood in terms of polaritons. In the practically relevant case of an inhomogeneous frequency distribution, this simple picture breaks down and new and surprising features appear. Here we leverage the high degree of control in a strongly coupled cold atom system, where for the first time the ratio between coupling strength and frequency inhomogeneities can be tuned. We directly observe the transition from a disordered regime to a polaritonic one with only two resonances. The latter are much narrower than the frequency distribution, as predicted in the context of ''cavity protection''. We find that the concentration of the photonic weight of the coupled light-matter states is a key parameter for this transition, and demonstrate that a simple parameter based on statistics of transmission count spectra provides a robust experimental proxy for this theoretical quantity. Moreover, we realize a dynamically modulated Tavis-Cumming model to produce a comb of narrow polariton resonances protected from the disorder, with potential applications to quantum networks.

  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.

  In cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED), emitters and a resonator are coupled together to enable precise studies of quantum light-matter interactions. Here we provide an observation of the continuous superradiant phase transition predicted in the CRF model using an ensemble of ultracold $88$Sr atoms. Our observations are a first step towards finer control of driven-dissipative systems, which have been predicted to generate quantum states.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.

• Tuning photon statistics with coherent fields [0.0]
  Photon correlations, as measured by Glauber's $n$-th order coherence functions, are highly sought to be minimized and/or maximized. In systems that are coherently driven, so-called blockades can give rise to strong correlations according to two scenarios. We show how these two approaches relate to the admixing of a coherent state with a quantum state.

  We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit. We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
