Waveguide QED and Unconventional Band Structures in Circuit QED Lattices

Explore quantum interactions between atoms and light in this conference talk from the New Perspectives in Many-body Physics with Quantum Optical Systems conference, where Professor Alicia Kollar from the University of Maryland discusses waveguide quantum electrodynamics (QED) and unconventional band structures in circuit QED lattices. Delve into emerging experimental platforms that control atom-light interactions, including dense atomic media, nanophotonic interfaces, and quantum electrodynamical circuits coupled to superconducting qubits. Learn about unique complexities in these systems, such as engineered light dispersion, reduced dimensionality, and non-perturbative multiple light scattering. Gain insights from this 45-minute presentation that brings together diverse perspectives from experimentalists and researchers in related fields like Rydberg atom arrays, ultracold molecules, and superconducting qubits for quantum computing, fostering discussions about future developments and grand challenges in quantum optical systems.
