- Abstract: We present Meissner-like photon currents in a quantum Rabi zigzag chain under staggered synthetic magnetic fields. The ground state of the Meissner superradiant phase hosts persistent chiral edge currents in a sequence of cancellation of antiparallel vortex pairs, akin to surface currents of the Meissner effect in superconductors. The Meissner phase displays distinct vortex structures and anomalous scaling exponents, arising from geometric frustration effects. Modifying the staggered flux triggers transitions to even- or odd-vortex superradiant phases, where the chiral edge currents flow exclusively in even or odd cavities with localized vortices, respectively. Enhanced interspecies interactions induce the vanishing of currents in a ferromagnetic superradiant phase. Our results enable observation of stabilized photon vortices and edge currents with analogy to quantum Hall-like robustness in light-matter coupling systems.

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.

A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins.
These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field.
We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.
