- Abstract: The quantum diffusion of a vortex in a two-component quantum fluid of light
is investigated. In these systems, the Kerr nonlinearity promotes interactions
between the photons, displaying features that are analogue of a Bose-Einstein
condensates. Quantum fluids of light have the advantage of simulating
matter-wave phenomena at room temperatures. While the analogy is true at the
mean field level, the full quantum dynamics of an impurity in quantum fluids of
light of, and therefore the ability of featuring genuine quantum noise, has
never been considered. We numerically solve the problem by simulating a
vortex-like impurity in the presence of noise with the Bogoliubov spectral
density, and show that the vortex undergoes superdiffusion. We support our
results with a theory that has been previously developed for the brownian
motion of point-like particles.

Recent theories have laid the groundwork for understanding how quantum-optical properties affect high-field photonics.
We demonstrate a new experimental approach that transduces some properties of a quantum-optical state through a strong-field nonlinearity.
Our results suggest that perturbing strong-field dynamics with quantum-optical states is a viable way to coherently control the generation of these states at short wavelengths.

Hybrid quantum systems in the ultrastrong, and even more in the deep-strong, coupling regimes can exhibit exotic physical phenomena.
We experimentally observe the parity symmetry breaking of an ancillary Xmon artificial atom induced by the field of a lumped-element superconducting resonator.
This result opens a way to experimentally explore the novel quantum-vacuum effects emerging in the deep-strong coupling regime.

We study a system consisting of a semiconductor quantum dot pumped by a driving laser, and coupled to an acoustic cavity.
This kind of systems has proven to yield interesting multi-phonon phenomena, but the description of the quantum dot has been limited to a two-level system.
We highlight two outstanding features: first, we are able to create dark states excitations in the quantum dot without the usual external magnetic field needed to do so.

We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit.
We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront.
The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
