• Abstract: Preferential selection of a given enantiomer over its chiral counterpart becomes increasingly relevant in the advent of the next era of medical drug design. In parallel, cavity quantum electrodynamics has grown into a solid framework to control energy transfer and chemical reactivity. In this work, we derive an analytical solution to a system of many chiral emitters interacting with a chiral cavity -- in analogy to the widely used Tavis-Cummings and Hopfield models of quantum optics. We are able to estimate the discriminating strength of chiral polaritonics, discuss possible future development directions, exciting applications such as elucidating homochirality, and deliver much needed intuition to foster the freshly flourishing field of chiral polaritonics.

  We show that introduction of harmonic and spin-dependent linear potentials sufficiently validates fTWA for longer times. In particular, we focus on a finite two-dimensional system and show that at intermediate linear potential strength, the addition of a harmonic potential and spin dependence of the tilt, results in subdiffusive dynamics.

• Chiral polaritons based on achiral Fabry-Perot cavities using apparent circular dichroism [0.0]
  Polariton states with high levels of chiral dissymmetry offer exciting prospects for quantum information, sensing, and lasing applications. Here, we theoretically demonstrate how chiral polaritons can be realized by combining (high quality factor) achiral Fabry-Perot cavities with samples exhibiting a phenomenon known as "apparent circular dichroism" (ACD) By introducing a quantum electrodynamical theory of ACD, we identify the design rules based on which the dissymmetry of chiral polaritons can be optimized.

  We propose applying time-dependent photo-emission spectroscopy, an established tool in solid state systems, in cold atom quantum simulators. We show in exact diagonalization simulations of the one-dimensional $t-J$ model that the spinons start to populate previously unoccupied states in an effective band structure. The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.
