Light-matter interactions in the vacuum of ultra-strongly coupled systems
Daniele De Bernardis, Gian Marcello Andolina, Iacopo Carusotto
We theoretically study how the peculiar properties of the vacuum state of an ultra-strongly coupled system can affect basic light-matter interaction processes. In this unconvention…
Valley-hybridized gate-tunable 1D exciton confinement in MoSe2
Maximilian Heithoff, Álvaro Moreno, Iacopo Torre +14
Controlling excitons at the nanoscale in semiconductor materials represents a formidable challenge in the fields of quantum photonics and optoelectronics. Achieving this control ho…
Deep Subwavelength Topological Edge State in a Hyperbolic Medium
Lorenzo Orsini, Hanan Herzig Sheinfux, Yandong Li +9
Topological nanophotonics presents the potential for cutting-edge photonic systems, with a core aim revolving around the emergence of topological edge states. These states are prim…
Topological protection of Majorana polaritons in a cavity
Zeno Bacciconi, Gian Marcello Andolina, Christophe Mora
Cavity embedding is an emerging paradigm for the control of quantum matter, offering avenues to manipulate electronic states and potentially drive topological phase transitions. In…
The maximum refractive index of an atomic crystal $\unicode{x2013}$ from quantum optics to quantum chemistry
Francesco Andreoli, Bennet Windt, Stefano Grava +4
All known optical materials have an index of refraction of order unity. Despite the tremendous implications that an ultrahigh index could have for optical technologies, little rese…
Off-resonant Dicke Quantum Battery: Charging by Virtual Photons
Giulia Gemme, Gian Marcello Andolina, Francesco Maria Dimitri Pellegrino +2
We investigate a Dicke quantum battery in the dispersive regime, where the photons trapped into a resonant cavity are way more energetic with respect to the two-level systems embed…
Photon condensation, Van Vleck paramagnetism, and chiral cavities
Alberto Mercurio, Gian Marcello Andolina, Francesco M. D. Pellegrino +6
We introduce a gauge-invariant model of planar, square molecules coupled to a quantized spatially-varying cavity electromagnetic vector potential A(r). Specifically, we choose a te…
First-order photon condensation in magnetic cavities: A two-leg ladder model
Zeno Bacciconi, Gian Marcello Andolina, Titas Chanda +3
We consider a model of free fermions in a ladder geometry coupled to a nonuniform cavity mode via Peierls substitution. Since the cavity mode generates a magnetic field, no-go theo…
