Shedding Quantum Light on Strongly Correlated Materials

International Workshop
22 - 26 August 2022

This workshop aims at identifying new research directions, as well as developing a comprehensive framework for constructing, probing, and modelling strong-coupling QED in correlated quantum materials, thereby establishing a common ground for physicists working in the fields of quantum optics and condensed matter.

Key questions

• Which degrees of freedom of the correlated material can be efficiently coupled to quantum fluctuations in cavities?


• How should QED be formulated within a strongly correlated material and in the absence of a clear perturbative parameter?


• What is the role of the driven/dissipative nature of the light confined within materials?


• Which novel phases of matter can be induced or stabilized using cavity-QED?


• Are there possibilites for observing novel quantum nonlinear optical phenomena?
