“Quantum optics with emitters in waveguides”
Recent progress in nano-fabrication and atomic physics has allowed to couple atoms (or other emitters) to structured waveguides. In this talk I will report on:
- a theoretical framework to describe some of those experiments using
both a master equation and a path integral approach; - the existence of many-photon bound states in the presence of one emitter;
- some techniques to prepare multi-photon states in the waveguide using strong coupling and collective effects.
