STRONG CORRELATIONS MEET QUANTUM OPTICS

Abstract

This ARO-STIR proposal entitled "Strong Correlations Meet Quantum Optics" is based on recent developments that have created a novel area for exploration at the interface of currently disconnected fields: strongly-correlated condensed matter/AMO physics and hybrid light-matter states in quantum cavities. This project proposes to integrate these fields into a new interdisciplinary research direction and to explore specific problems of fundamental scientific and technological significance. It is motivated by remarkable progress in the fields of light-induced non-equilibrium superconductivity and exciton-polaritons in quantum cavities, and also by recent work connecting the two, pioneered by several groups including the two Principle Investigators. Proposed research focuses on strongly-correlated matter, in both electronic materials and cold-atom systems, coupled to quantum cavity light. Specific goals of the proposed project are to expore new avenues to achieve giant steady-state enhancement of superconductivity and to engineer new kinds of hybrid strongly correlated light-matter phases.
