We address the quantum estimation of the diamagnetic, or $A^2$, term in an effective model of light-matter interaction featuring two coupled oscillators. First, we calculate the quantum Fisher information of the diamagnetic parameter in the interacting ground state. Then, we find that typical measurements on the transverse radiation field, such as homodyne detection or photon counting, permit to estimate the diamagnetic coupling constant with near-optimal efficiency in a wide range of model…

Ultrastrong coupling between light and matter
Light–matter coupling with strength comparable to the bare transition frequencies of the system is called ultrastrong. This Review surveys how experiments have realized ultrastrong coupling in the…
Spectroscopy and critical quantum thermometry in the ultrastrong coupling regime
We present an exact analytical solution of the anisotropic Hopfield model, and we use it to investigate in detail the spectral and thermometric response of two ultrastrongly coupled quantum systems.…
Ultrastrong coupling regimes of light-matter interaction
Recent experiments have demonstrated that light and matter can mix together to an extreme degree, and previously uncharted regimes of light-matter interactions are currently being explored in a…
Quantum probes for the cutoff frequency of Ohmic environments
Quantum probing consists of suitably exploiting a simple, small, and controllable quantum system to characterize a larger and more complex system. Here, we address the estimation of the cutoff…
Quantum Probes for Ohmic Environments at Thermal Equilibrium
TLDR
The interplay between thermal fluctuations and time evolution in determining the precision attainable by quantum probes is discussed and the results show that the presence of thermal fluctuations degrades the precision for low values of the cutoff frequency.
Quantum thermometry by single-qubit dephasing
Abstract.We address the dephasing dynamics of a qubit as an effective process to estimate the temperature of its environment. Our scheme is inherently quantum, since it exploits the sensitivity of…

It is shown that, in spite of the critical slowing down, critical quantum optical probes can achieve a quantum-enhanced time scaling of the sensitivity in frequency-estimation protocols.
On the Quantumness of Multiparameter Estimation Problems for Qubit Systems
TLDR
Evidence is given that R is a useful quantity to characterize multiparameter estimation problems, as for several quantum statistical model, it is equal to the difference between the bounds and, in general, their behavior qualitatively coincide, and evidence that R may overestimate the degree of quantum incompatibility between parameters is found.
Continuous-variable quantum probes for structured environments
We address parameter estimation for structured environments and suggest an effective estimation scheme based on continuous-variables quantum probes. In particular, we investigate the use of a single…

Dicke coupling by feasible local measurements at the superradiant quantum phase transition.
TLDR
This work addresses characterization of many-body superradiant systems and establishes a fundamental connection between quantum criticality and the possibility of locally estimating the coupling constant, i.e., extracting its value by probing only a portion of the whole system, by exploiting the symplectic formalism for Gaussian states.
Light-matter decoupling and A2 term detection in superconducting circuits
TLDR
It is proved that an increase in the strength of the diamagnetic term leads to an effective decoupling of the qubit from the electromagnetic field, and that this effect is observable at any range of qubit-photon coupling.
Signatures of the A 2 term in ultrastrongly coupled oscillators
We study a bosonic matter excitation coupled to a single-mode cavity field via electric dipole. Counter-rotating and $A^2$ terms are included in the interaction model, ${\mathbf A}$ being the vector…

Adequacy of the Dicke model in cavity QED: A counter-no-go statement
The long-standing debate whether the phase transition in the Dicke model can be realized with dipoles in electromagnetic fields is yet an unsettled one. The well-known statement often referred to as…
Signatures of the ultrastrong light-matter coupling regime
In a microcavity, light-matter coupling is quantified by the vacuum-Rabi frequency ?R. When ?R is larger than radiative and nonradiative loss rates, the system eigenstates (polaritons) are linear…
Sub-cycle switch-on of ultrastrong light–matter interaction
TLDR
This work uses a quantum-well waveguide structure to optically tune light–matter interaction from weak to ultrastrong and turn on maximum coupling within less than one cycle of light, and directly monitors how a coherent photon population converts to cavity polaritons during abrupt switching.
Superconducting qubit–oscillator circuit beyond the ultrastrong-coupling regime
A circuit that pairs a flux qubit with an LC oscillator via Josephson junctions pushes the coupling between light to matter to uncharted territory, with the potential for new applications in quantum…
No-go theorem for superradiant quantum phase transitions in cavity QED and counter-example in circuit QED.
TLDR
It is proved that if the time-independent light-matter Hamiltonian is considered, a superradiant quantum critical point is forbidden for electric dipole atomic transitions because of the oscillator strength sum rule.
