• Abstract: We consider the scenario of an emitter embedded in a nonideal cavity. Using an input-output approach to describe the open system, we show that an effective dissipative coupling between the emitter and the cavity can emerge because of their interaction with a common photonic environment. The underlying mechanism is independent of the nature of the emitter and exists even at zero temperature; hence our results provide a pathway for accessing a range of non-Hermitian phenomena in a variety of light-matter coupled systems. In particular, we show that the effective dissipative coupling can lead to the phenomenon of level attraction between the emitter and cavity mode when the radiative decay rates exceed the conventional Rabi coupling. Our model thus provides a possible explanation for the anomalous dispersions and negative mass observed in recent photoluminescence measurements in semiconductor microcavities. Finally, we show that our effective non-Hermitian system can produce hybrid light-matter exceptional points and bound states in the continuum.

  We show that a free-space ensemble at a low optical depth can exhibit similar behavior as the cavity system. We argue that the free-space system does not undergo a phase transition but rather a phase separation", roughly speaking, between saturated and unsaturated regions.

  We show that by coupling nitrogen-vacancy centers in a diamond membrane to a high-finesse microcavity, few, incoherent, inhomogeneous, and spatially separated emitters can enter the regime of collective emission. We observe a super-linear power dependence of the emission rate as a hallmark of collective emission.

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.

  We use intuition to predict the formation of non-trivial photonic steady-states in one and two dimensions. We show that subradiant emitter configurations are linked to the emergence of steady-state light-localization in the driven-dissipative setting. These results shed light on the recently reported optically-defined cavities in polaritonic lattices.

• Unconventional saturation effects at intermediate drive in a lossy cavity coupled to few emitters [0.0]
  We study a nonlinear response of the cavity for resonant external driving of intermediate strength. In this regime, $(N+1)$-photon processes dominate when the cavity couples to $N$ emitters. We find that a central condition for the observed effect is large cooperativity, i.e., the product of the cavity and emitter decay rates is much smaller than the collective cavity-emitter interaction strength squared.
