In this review we discuss the works in the area of quantum simulation and many-body
physics with light, from the early proposals on equilibrium models to the more recent works …

The increasing level of experimental control over atomic and optical systems gained in
recent years has paved the way for the exploration of new physical regimes in quantum …

We propose a physical system where photons could exhibit strongly correlated effects. We
demonstrate how a Mott-insulator phase of atom-photon excitations (polaritons) can arise in …

Light is established as a successful carrier in quantum optical computing and data
processing, as photon always maintains the quantum phenomenon of a particle. In this …

We propose a scheme to realize the fractional quantum Hall system with atoms confined in a
two-dimensional array of coupled cavities. Our scheme is based on simple optical …

Photonic crystals can be considered as one of the most important basis for designing optical
devices. In this research, using two-dimensional photonic crystals with triangular lattices …

We theoretically study how to control transport, bound states, and resonant states of a single
photon in a one-dimensional coupled-cavity array. We find that the transport of a single …

Coupled quantum electrodynamics (QED) cavities have been recently proposed as new
systems to simulate a variety of equilibrium and nonequilibrium many-body phenomena. We …

Two-photon Rabi splitting in a cavity-dot system provides a basis for multiqubit coherent
control in a quantum photonic network. Here we report on two-photon Rabi splitting in a …

The authors demonstrate an all-optical Fredkin gate which implements an interference
based controlled swap operation. This realization has a small footprint (60 µm× 75 µm wafer …
