• Abstract: We start this short note by remembering the beginnings of the Warsaw School of Quantum Optics, evidently stimulated by Iwo Bialynicki-Birula at the Warsaw University, and then Centre for Theoretical Physics of Polish Academy of Sciences, and Adam Kujawski and Zofia Bialynicka-Birula at the Institute of Physics of Polish Academy of Sciences. In the theoretical approaches of the Warsaw School Quantum Field Theory was always present, and Quantum Optics was considered to be Applied Quantum Electrodynamics (QED). All of us who grew up in this fantastic community have carried and are still carrying the gospel to others. In particular, now QED began her run on the red carpet of Super Instense Laser Matter Interactions, Attosecond-physics, and Ultrafast Laser Physics, in general. We will elaborate on the recent progress in this direction, and on the open questions towards future investigations. This paper celebrates the 90th birthday of Prof. Iwo Bialynicki-Birula, our QED guru!

  Quantum simulation of lattice gauge theories (LGTs) aims at tackling non-perturbative particle and condensed matter physics. One of the current challenges is to go beyond 1+1 dimensions, where four-body (plaquette) interactions, not contained naturally in quantum simulating devices, appear. We show how to prepare the ground state and measure Wilson loops using state-of-the-art techniques in atomic physics.

  Quantum mechanical effects at the macroscopic level were first explored in Josephson junction-based superconducting circuits in the 1980s. In the last twenty years, the emergence of quantum information science has intensified research toward using these circuits as qubits in quantum information processors. The field of circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED) has now become an independent and thriving field of research in its own right.

• Quantum Hall phase emerging in an array of atoms interacting with photons [101.18253437732933]
  Topological quantum phases underpin many concepts of modern physics. Here, we reveal that the quantum Hall phase with topological edge states, spectral Landau levels and Hofstadter butterfly can emerge in a simple quantum system. Such systems, arrays of two-level atoms (qubits) coupled to light being described by the classical Dicke model, have recently been realized in experiments with cold atoms and superconducting qubits.
