• Abstract summary: Kondo effect is one of the most studied examples of strongly correlated quantum many-body physics. We study a system that combines both phenomena, consisting of a two-impurity Anderson model ultra-strongly coupled to a single-mode cavity. While presented as an abstract model, it is relevant for a range of future hybrid cavity-QED systems.

• Abstract: The Kondo effect is one of the most studied examples of strongly correlated quantum many-body physics. Another type of strongly correlated physics that has only recently been explored in detail (and become experimentally accessible) is that of ultrastrong coupling between light and matter. Here, we study a system which we denote as "Kondo QED") that combines both phenomena, consisting of a two-impurity Anderson model ultra-strongly coupled to a single-mode cavity. While presented as an abstract model, it is relevant for a range of future hybrid cavity-QED systems. Using the hierarchical equations of motion approach we show that the ultrastrong coupling of cavity photons to the electronic states (impurity) noticeably suppresses the electronic Kondo resonance due to the destruction of many-body correlations of the Kondo cloud. We observe this transfer of correlations from the Kondo cloud to the cavity by computing the entropy and mutual information of the impurity-cavity subsystems. In addition, in the weak lead-coupling limit and at zero-bias, the model exhibits a ground-state photon accumulation effect originating entirely from counter-rotating terms in the impurity-cavity interaction. Interestingly, in the strong lead-coupling limit, this accumulation is ``Kondo-enhanced'' by new transition paths opening when increasing the hybridization to the leads. This suggests a new mechanism for the generation of real photons from virtual states. We further show that the suppression of the Kondo effect is stable under broadening of the cavity resonance as a consequence of the interaction to an external bosonic continuum. Our findings pave the way for the simultaneous control of both the Kondo QED effect and a photon accumulation effect using the ultrastrong coupling of light and matter.

• Relevance of Anisotropy in the Kondo Effect -- Lessons From the Symplectic Case [0.0]
  A Kondo model with symplectic symmetry was recently put forward as the effective low-energy theory of a superconducting-island device coupled to multiple leads. We show that asymmetry in the coupling to the leads destabilizes the non-Fermi liquid. Results highlight a common misconception that anisotropy in the Kondo coupling is always irrelevant.

  We study a photonic lattice system composed of a linear array of driven-dissipative coupled cavities. Under weak on-site interactions, photons mostly Bose condense into a selected, single-particle Wannier-Stark state. As the strength of the photon-photon interactions increase, a non-stationary regime emerges which is marked surprisingly by periodic Bloch-type oscillations.

  Two non-identical quantum emitters, when placed within a cavity and coherently excited at the two-photon resonance, can reach stationary states of nearly maximal entanglement. We show that this mechanism is merely one among a complex family of phenomena that can generate both stationary and metastable entanglement when driving the emitters at the two-photon resonance.

  We compute the geometric phases acquired in both unitary and dissipative Jaynes-Cummings models. In the dissipative model, the non-unitary effects arise from the outflow of photons through the cavity walls. We show the geometric phase is robust, exhibiting a vanishing correction under a non-unitary evolution.

• 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.
