• Title: Collective excitations of a strongly-correlated non-equilibrium photon fluid across the Mott/superfluid phase transition
• Authors: Fabio Caleffi, Massimo Capone, Iacopo Carusotto
• Abstract summary: We develop a Gutzwiller theory for the non-equilibrium steady states of a strongly-interacting photon fluid driven by a non-Markovian incoherent pump. Our results appear as experimentally accessible to state-of-the-art circuit-QED devices and open the way for driven-dissipative fluids of light as quantum simulators of novel many-body scenarios.

• Abstract: We develop a Gutzwiller theory for the non-equilibrium steady states of a strongly-interacting photon fluid driven by a non-Markovian incoherent pump. In particular, we explore the collective excitation modes across the out-of-equilibrium Mott/superfluid transition, characterizing the diffusive Goldstone mode in the superfluid phase and the particle/hole excitations in the insulating one. Observable features in the pump-and-probe optical response of the system are highlighted. Our results appear as experimentally accessible to state-of-the-art circuit-QED devices and open the way for driven-dissipative fluids of light as quantum simulators of novel many-body scenarios.

  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.

  Thouless pumping represents a powerful concept to probe quantized topological invariants in quantum systems. We show that sufficiently large intersite interactions allow for an interaction-induced recovery of Thouless pumps. Our results provide a new mechanism to stabilize Thouless pumps in interacting quantum systems.

  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.

  Moir'e excitons promise a new platform with which to generate and manipulate hybrid quantum phases of light and matter. We show that the steady states exhibit a rich phase diagram with pronounced bi-stabilities governed by multi-photon resonances. In the presence of an incoherent pumping of excitons we find that the system can realise one- and multi-photon lasers.

  We experimentally prove the feasibility of disordered quantum walks to realize a quantum simulator that is able to model general subdiffusive phenomena. Our experiment simulates such phenomena by means of a finely controlled insertion of various levels of disorder during the evolution of the walker. This allows us to explore the full range of subdiffusive behaviors, ranging from anomalous Anderson localization to normal diffusion.

• Dissipative dynamical Casimir effect in terms of the complex spectral analysis in the symplectic-Floquet space [2.7539573422730204]
  We study the dynamical Casimir effect of the optomechanical cavity interacting with one-dimensional photonic crystal. The quantum vacuum fluctuation of the intra-cavity mode is parametrically amplified by a periodic motion of the mirror boundary. We have found that the nonlocal stationary eigenmode appears when the mixing between the cavity mode and the photonic band is caused by the indirect virtual transition.
