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 optics and atomic physics, characterised by the appearance of quantum many‐body phenomena, originally encountered only in condensed‐matter physics, and the possibility of experimentally accessing them in a more controlled manner. In this review article we survey recent theoretical studies concerning the use of cavity quantum…

Keldysh field theory for driven open quantum systems.
TLDR
This work provides a systematic introduction to the open system Keldysh functional integral approach, which is the proper technical tool to accomplish a merger of quantum optics and many-body physics, and leverages the power of modern quantum field theory to driven open quantum systems.
Out-of-equilibrium physics in driven dissipative coupled resonator arrays
Coupled QED resonator arrays have been shown to exhibit interesting many-body physics including Mott and Fractional Hall states of photons. One of the main differences between these photonic quantum…

Quantum simulation with interacting photons
Enhancing optical nonlinearities so that they become appreciable on the single photon level and lead to nonclassical light fields has been a central objective in quantum optics for many years. After…
Quantum phase transitions in coupled atom-photon systems
Quantum many-body phase transitions have attracted a great deal of theoretical and experimental study in both naturally-occurring systems like those in condensed matter and man-made systems created…
Non-equilibrium strongly-correlated quantum dynamics in photonic resonator arrays
Strong e↵ective photon-photon interactions mediated by atom-photon couplings have been routinely achievable in QED setups for some time now. Recently, there have been several proposals to push the…
Quantum simulations and many-body physics with light.
TLDR
This review discusses 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 in driven dissipative platforms and some of the relatively recent results predicting exotic phases such as super-solidity and Majorana like modes.

Strongly interacting polaritons in coupled arrays of cavities
Observing quantum phenomena in strongly correlated many-particle systems is difficult because of the short length- and timescales involved. Exerting control over the state of individual elements…

Fractional quantum Hall state in coupled cavities.
TLDR
The scheme, for the first time, exploits the core advantage of coupled cavity simulations, namely, the individual addressability of the components, and also brings the gauge potential into such simulations as well as the simple optical creation of particles.

Observation of strong coupling between one atom and a monolithic microresonator
TLDR
Strong coupling is achieved, with the rate of coherent coupling exceeding the dissipative rates of the atom and the cavity, and this work opens the way for investigations of optical processes with single atoms and photons in lithographically fabricated microresonators.

Strong atom–field coupling for Bose–Einstein condensates in an optical cavity on a chip
TLDR
An experiment combining a fibre-based cavity with atom-chip technology enables single-atom cavity quantum electrodynamics experiments with a simplified set-up and realizes the situation of many atoms in a cavity, each of which is identically and strongly coupled to the cavity mode.
Quantum nature of a strongly coupled single quantum dot–cavity system
TLDR
Observations unequivocally show that quantum information tasks are achievable in solid-state cavity QED by observing quantum correlations in photoluminescence from a photonic crystal nanocavity interacting with one, and only one, quantum dot located precisely at the cavity electric field maximum.
