Topological photonics is a rapidly emerging field of research in which geometrical and
topological ideas are exploited to design and control the behavior of light. Drawing …

This Colloquium describes a new paradigm for creating strong quantum interactions of light
and matter by way of single atoms and photons in nanoscopic lattices. Beyond the …

Quantum information processing based on Rydberg atoms emerged as a promising
direction two decades ago. Recent experimental and theoretical progresses have shined …

Photon-photon scattering in vacuum is extremely weak. However, strong effective
interactions between single photons can be realized by employing strong light-matter …

Realizing precise control over multiquanta emission is crucial for quantum information
processing, especially when integrated with advanced techniques of manipulating quantum …

By map** the strong interaction between Rydberg excitations in ultra-cold atomic
ensembles onto single photons via electromagnetically induced transparency, it is now …

The strong interaction between individual Rydberg atoms provides a powerful tool exploited
in an ever-growing range of applications in quantum information science, quantum …

Bound states of massive particles, such as nuclei, atoms, or molecules, constitute the bulk of
the visible world around us. By contrast, photons typically only interact weakly. We report the …

Many-body systems with both coherent dynamics and dissipation constitute a rich class of
models which are nevertheless much less explored than their dissipationless counterparts …

There has been rapid development of systems that yield strong interactions between freely
propagating photons in one-dimension via controlled coupling to quantum emitters. This …
