Probing and Controlling Synthetic Quantum Matter with Superconducting Qubits: From Photon Fluids to Entangled Cat States

Watch a 44-minute conference talk from the New Perspectives in Many-body Physics with Quantum Optical Systems conference, where Andrei Vrajitoarea from NYU explores the fascinating world of synthetic quantum matter and superconducting qubits. Delve into cutting-edge research on photon fluids and entangled cat states, presented at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. Learn about emerging experimental platforms that investigate quantum interactions between atoms and light, including dense atomic media, nanophotonic interfaces, and quantum electrodynamical circuits coupled to superconducting qubits. Discover how these platforms introduce new complexities through engineered light dispersion, reduced system dimensionality, and non-perturbative multiple light scattering. Gain insights from this presentation that was part of a broader conference bringing together diverse researchers to discuss state-of-the-art developments and future challenges in quantum optical systems.
