Abstract: The interaction between atomic systems and electromagnetic fields is central to modern physics and emerging quantum technologies. The Rabi models, in their semiclassical and quantum versions, provide the simplest and most fundamental description of this interaction. In this work, we present a concise derivation of both models and show how one- and multiphoton resonances arise in the semiclassical regime. We then analyze how these resonances manifest in the quantum Rabi model, discussing similarities and differences in relation to the classical description. Special attention is given to the three-photon resonance, a phenomenon usually neglected in textbooks due to its relative weakness, but which is intrinsic to the radiation-matter interaction. Our goal is to offer an accessible pedagogical reference for students and researchers interested in Quantum Optics and Quantum Information, with an emphasis on the fundamentals of the Rabi models.

Correlated steady states and Raman lasing in continuously pumped and probed atomic ensembles [68.8204255655161]
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.

Observing Quasiparticles through the Entanglement Lens [0.0]
We argue that the salient features of the quasiparticles, including their quantum numbers, locality and fractionalization are reflected in the entanglement spectrum and in the mutual information. We illustrate these ideas in the specific context of the $d=1$ transverse field Ising model with an integrability breaking perturbation.

Quantum Hall phase emerging in an array of atoms interacting with photons [101.18253437732933]
Topological quantum phases underpin many concepts of modern physics. Here, we reveal that the quantum Hall phase with topological edge states, spectral Landau levels and Hofstadter butterfly can emerge in a simple quantum system. Such systems, arrays of two-level atoms (qubits) coupled to light being described by the classical Dicke model, have recently been realized in experiments with cold atoms and superconducting qubits.
