DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/UTSQSI/15/">
 Quantum many-body physics of photons in waveguide QED</a>\nby Sahand Mahmo
 odian (Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics\, Leibniz University
 \, Hannover) as part of Centre for Quantum Software and Information Semina
 r Series\n\n\nAbstract\nThe generation and control of strongly interacting
  photons is a long-standing goal of quantum optics. In recent years\, rema
 rkable experiments with cavity QED platforms\, strongly interacting Rydber
 g atoms\, and circuit QED have demonstrated photon-photon interactions at 
 the few-body level. In this talk I show that a conceptually simple platfor
 m of two-level atoms ideally coupled to a chiral photonic mode forms an ex
 citing system for exploring the many-body physics of photons. Here\, a cla
 ss of bound photon eigenstates hold the key to understanding the dynamics 
 of this system at the few- and many-body scale. I will show that one can u
 se these states to describe the entire spectrum from few-photon quantum pr
 opagation\, to genuine quantum many-body (atom and photon) phenomena\, and
  ultimately the quantum-to-classical transition.\n
