• Abstract: We demonstrate a strong influence of the phonon environment on the coherent dynamics of the quantum dot (QD)-cavity system in the quantum strong coupling regime. This regime is implemented in the nonlinear QD-cavity QED and can be reliably measured by heterodyne spectral interferometry. We present a semi-analytic asymptotically exact path integral-based approach to the nonlinear optical response of this system, which includes two key ingredients: Trotter's decomposition and linked-cluster expansion. Applied to the four-wave-mixing optical polarization, this approach provides access to different excitation and measurement channels, as well as to higher-order optical nonlinearities and quantum correlators. Furthermore, it allows us to extract useful analytic approximations and analyze the nonlinear optical response in terms of quantum transitions between phonon-dressed states of the anharmonic Jaynes-Cummings (JC) ladder. Being well described by these approximations at low temperatures and small exciton-cavity coupling, the exact solution deviates from them for stronger couplings and higher temperatures, demonstrating remarkable non-Markovian effects, spectral asymmetry, and strong phonon renormalization of the JC ladder.

  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.

  This work explores the possibility of creating and controlling unconventional nonlinearities by periodic driving. By means of a parent quantum many-body description, we demonstrate that such driven systems are well captured by an effective NLSE. We analyze these intriguing properties both in the weakly-interacting (mean-field) regime, captured by the effective NLSE, and in the strongly-correlated quantum regime.

  We investigate the origins of the experimentally observed enhancement of resonant SHG and THG under strong light-matter coupling. We find that the enhancement of the nonlinear conversion efficiency has its origins in a modification of the associated nonlinear optical susceptibilities.

  We show that the simplest set-up of two qubits, harmonically trapped over an optical waveguide, enables the ultrastrong coupling regime of the quantum optomechanical interaction. The combination of the inherent open nature of the system and the strong optomechanical coupling leads to emerging parity-time (PT) symmetry. The $mathcalPT$ phase transition drives long-living subradiant states, observable in the state-of-the-art waveguide QED setups.
