Microcavity exciton-polaritons are hybrid quantum quasi-particles as an admixture of cavity photons
and quantum well excitons. The inherent light-matter duality provides experimental advantages to form
coherent condensates at high temperatures (e.g. 4 K in GaAs and room temperature in GaN materials) and
to access the dynamics of exciton-polaritons. I present engineered...

1874. Building Synthetic Quantum Systems with Atoms and Photons – From Waveguide QED with Neutral Atoms to Many-Body Physics with Rydberg-Dressed Lattice Gases

Invited Speaker / Conférencier invité

Quantum networks are composed of quantum nodes that interact coherently through quantum channels, and open a broad frontier of scientific opportunities. An exciting frontier in this endeavor is the integration of otherwise ‘simple’ quantum elements into complex quantum networks. In this context, there is active research to achieve lithographic quantum optical circuits, for which atoms are...
