• Abstract summary: We study the electromagnetically induced atomic grating due to the vacuum state of the radiation field. As the number of photons in the cavity increases, the intensity of the first-order diffraction peak initially rises and then exhibits a decreasing trend. This transition from a peak to a dip may potentially be used to distinguish the quantum state of the cavity.

• Abstract: Atom-field interactions, induced by the vacuum of the electromagnetic field, exhibit a variety of fundamental phenomena and effects. In this paper, we study the electromagnetically induced atomic grating due to the vacuum state of the radiation field. Using an ensemble of cold atoms, strongly coupled to an optical cavity, we show that a probe field, propagating through the atomic medium, diffracts to zeroth and first-order diffraction peaks with few photons and even by the electromagnetic vacuum field of the cavity mode. As the number of photons in the cavity increases, the intensity of the first-order diffraction peak initially rises and then exhibits a decreasing trend. Furthermore, we observe that the first-order peak intensity reaches its maximum at resonance for both the vacuum and single-photon cavity state. However, as the number of photons increases further, this peak at resonance transforms into a dip, accompanied by two side peaks at off-resonance positions. This transition from a peak to a dip may potentially be used to distinguish the quantum state of the cavity.

  A spin-photon interface based on a singly charged quantum dot in a micropillar cavity allows for the creation of photonic entangled states. We show that the concurrence of the spin-photon state equal to one and complete quantum dot population can be reached for a micropillar cavity with any degree of birefringence.

• Controllable fusion of electromagnetic bosons in two-dimensional semiconductors [0.0]
  We propose a physical principle for controllable interactions of identical electromagnetic bosons (excitons or polaritons) in 2D semiconductors. Key ingredients are tightly bound biexcitons and in-plane anisotropy of the host structure due to, e.g., a uniaxial strain. We show that anisotropy-induced splitting of the radiative exciton doublet couples the biexciton state to continua of boson scattering states.

We experimentally investigate this effect for a chiral, i.e.,direction-dependent light--matter coupling. Our results shed light on the collective radiative dynamics of cascaded quantum many-body systems.

  We evaluate the probability of (de-)excitation and photon emission from a neutral, moving, non-relativistic atom, coupled to a quantum electromagnetic field and in the presence of a thin, perfectly conducting plane ("mirror") Results extend to a more realistic model, where the would-be electron was described by a scalar variable, coupled to an (also scalar) vacuum field.

  In spite of particle losses the quantum entanglement propagation exhibits a ballistic character with propagation speeds related to the differerent quasiparticles that are involved in the dynamics. Our analysis reveals that photon dissipation has a strikingly asymmetric behavior in the two configurations with a much more dramatic role on the holon entanglement propagation than for the doublon case.
