• Abstract: This work lays the foundation to accurately describe ground-state properties in multimode photonic environments and highlights the importance of the mass renormalization procedure for ab-initio quantum electrodynamics simulations. We first demonstrate this for free particles, where the energy dispersion is employed to determine the mass of the particles. We then show how the multimode photon field influences various ground and excited-state properties of atomic and molecular systems. For instance, we observe the enhancement of localization for the atomic system, and the modification of the potential energy surfaces of the molecular dimer due to photon-mediated long-range interactions. These phenomena get enhanced under strong light-matter coupling in a cavity environment and become relevant for the emerging field of polaritonic chemistry. We conclude by demonstrating how non-trivial ground-state effects due to the multimode field can be accurately captured by approximations that are simple and numerically feasible even for realistic systems.

  We discuss the role of material nonlocality in Casimir effects in time-varying frequency-dispersive nanophotonic systems. We show that local models may lead to nonphysical predictions, such as diverging emission rates of entangled polariton pairs. Our work sheds light on the importance of nonlocal effects in this new frontier of nanophotonics.

• Directional spontaneous emission in photonic crystal slabs [49.1574468325115]
  Spontaneous emission is a fundamental out-of-equilibrium process in which an excited quantum emitter relaxes to the ground state due to quantum fluctuations. One way to modify these photon-mediated interactions is to alter the dipole radiation patterns of the emitter, e.g., by placing photonic crystals near them. Our study delves into the interaction between these directional emission patterns and the aforementioned variables, revealing the untapped potential to fine-tune collective quantum optical phenomena.

• Cavity Induced Collective Behavior in the Polaritonic Ground State [0.0]
  We investigate collective phenomena in a system of many particles in a harmonic trap coupled to a homogeneous quantum cavity field. The cavity field mediates pairwise long-range interactions and enhances the effective mass of the particles. The light-matter interaction also modifies the photonic properties of the polariton system, as the ground state is populated with bunched photons.

  One of the hallmarks of interacting systems is the formation of multi-particle bound states. We develop a high fidelity parameterizable fSim gate that implements the periodic quantum circuit of the spin-1/2 XXZ model. By placing microwave photons in adjacent qubit sites, we study the propagation of these excitations and observe their bound nature for up to 5 photons.

  We show how isotropic Dirac-photons can lead to non-exponential spontaneous emission as well as dissipation-less long-range emitter interactions. In particular, we show how by changing the anisotropy of the lattice one can change both the spatial shape of the interactions as well as its coherent/incoherent nature.

  We propose applying time-dependent photo-emission spectroscopy, an established tool in solid state systems, in cold atom quantum simulators. We show in exact diagonalization simulations of the one-dimensional $t-J$ model that the spinons start to populate previously unoccupied states in an effective band structure. The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.
