From Kinetic Constraints to Emergent Quantum Electrodynamics

Explore a 42-minute conference talk delivered at the New Perspectives in Many-body Physics with Quantum Optical Systems conference, focusing on the progression from kinetic constraints to emergent quantum electrodynamics (QED). Delve into cutting-edge research presented by Roderich Moessner from the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems (MPI-PKS) at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. Learn about the latest developments in quantum interactions between atoms and light, covering diverse experimental platforms including dense atomic media, ordered arrays, disordered ensembles, nanophotonic interfaces, and quantum electrodynamical circuits coupled to superconducting qubits. Gain insights into the unique complexities of these platforms, such as engineered light dispersion relations, reduced system dimensionality, and non-perturbative multiple light scattering. Understand how this research contributes to the broader field of many-body quantum optical systems and its implications for future experimental capabilities.
