Abstract: In this work, we implement a new method for imaging ultracold atoms with subwavelength resolution capabilities and determine its regime of validity. It uses the laser driven interaction between excited states to engineer hyperfine ground state population transfer in a three-level system on scales much smaller than the optical resolution. Subwavelength imaging of a quantum gas is atypical in the sense that the measurement itself perturbs the dynamics of the system. To avoid induced dynamics affecting the measurement, one usually measures "rapidly" the wavefunction in a so-called strong imaging regime. We experimentally illustrate this regime using a thermal gas ensemble, and demonstrate subwavelength resolution in quantitative agreement with a fully analytical model. Additionally, we show that, counter-intuitively, the opposite weak imaging regime can also be exploited to reach subwavelength resolution. As a proof of concept, we demonstrate that this regime is a robust solution to select and spatially resolve a 30 nm wide wavefunction, which was created and singled out from a tightly confined 1D optical lattice. Using a general dissipation-included formalism, we derive validity criteria for both regimes. The formalism is applicable to other subwavelength methods.

Nonlinear dynamical Casimir effect and Unruh entanglement in waveguide QED with parametrically modulated coupling [83.88591755871734]
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.

Multimode-cavity picture of non-Markovian waveguide QED [0.0]
We introduce a picture to describe and intrepret waveguide-QED problems in the non-Markovian regime. The framework is based on an intuitive spatial decomposition of the waveguide into blocks. As an application, we show that the recently identified non-Markovian steady states can be understood by retaining very few or even only one cavity modes.

We study the melting of charge-density waves in a Holstein model after a sudden switch-on of the electronic hopping. A comparison with exact data obtained for a Holstein chain shows that a semiclassical treatment of both the electrons and phonons is required in order to correctly describe the phononic dynamics.

Light-matter interaction at the single-quantum level is the heart of many regimes of high fundamental importance to modern quantum technologies. We formulate a unifying theory which under a minimal set of standard approximations accounts for physical boundaries of a system. Our theory can be straightforwardly extended to other waveguides such as the photonic crystal and coupled cavity arrays.

Propagating single photons from an open cavity: Description from universal quantization [0.0]
Quantum optics has evolved from high quality factor cavities in the early experiments toward new cavity designs involving leaky modes. We take a different approach, and we define an inside-outside representation which is derived from the original true-mode representation. We propose an atom-cavity non-resonant scheme for single photon generation, and we rigorously analyze the outgoing single photon in time and frequency domains.
