• Abstract summary: We show that the emergence of a vacuum Rabi splitting in linear spectroscopy is a necessary but not sufficient metric of coherent admixing between light and matter.

• Abstract: Room temperature cavity quantum electrodynamics with molecular materials in optical cavities offers exciting prospects for controlling electronic, nuclear and photonic degrees of freedom for applications in physics, chemistry and materials science. However, achieving strong coupling with molecular ensembles typically requires high molecular densities and substantial electromagnetic field confinement. These conditions usually involve a significant degree of molecular disorder and a highly structured photonic density of states. It remains unclear to what extent these additional complexities modify the usual physical picture of strong coupling developed for atoms and inorganic semiconductors. Using a microscopic quantum description of molecular ensembles in realistic multimode optical resonators, we show that the emergence of a vacuum Rabi splitting in linear spectroscopy is a necessary but not sufficient metric of coherent admixing between light and matter. In low finesse multi-mode situations we find that molecular dipoles can be partially hybridised with photonic dissipation channels associated with off-resonant cavity modes. These vacuum-induced dissipative processes ultimately limit the extent of light-matter coherence that the system can sustain.

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 consider an ensemble of Alkali atoms that are continuously optically pumped and probed. Due to the collective scattering of photons at large optical depth, the steady state of atoms does not correspond to an uncorrelated tensor-product state. We find and characterize regimes of Raman lasing, akin to the model of a superradiant laser.

• A theoretical perspective on molecular polaritonics [0.0]
  polaritonic phenomena emerging in light-matter interaction regime have proven to be difficult tasks. The accurate treatment of the vibrational spectrum of the former is key, and simplified quantum models are not valid in many cases. Loss and dissipation, in the form of absorption or radiation, must also be included in the theoretical description of polaritons.

  We investigate the exciton complexes photoluminescence, dynamics and photon statistics in the concurrent strong weak coupling regime. We demonstrate the strong and weak coupling can coexist dynamically, as a form of intermediate regime mediated by phonon scattering. This study suggests our device has potential for new and subtle cavity quantum electrodynamical phenomena, cavity enhanced indistinguishable single photon generation, and cluster state generation via the exciton-photon complexes for quantum networks.

  We report on experiments using molecular transitions in a strongly interacting Fermi gas, directly coupling cavity photons to pairs of atoms. The dependence of the pair-polariton spectrum on interatomic interactions is universal, independent of the transition used. This represents a magnification of many-body effects by two orders of magnitude in energy.

We show that the dynamics beyond a few femtoseconds has to be cast in the language of hot electron distributions and excitons.
