Mixing light and matter with complex gauge fields

光和电子物质的量子流体为集体量子效应的技术应用提供了一条实际途径，而集体量子效应以前只能在极端条件下才能实现。然而，混合轻物质粒子与电磁场的弱相互作用阻碍了利用这些效应的进展，例如无阻力的同步粒子流动。该项目旨在设计人工磁场，以便在环境条件下轻松控制这些混合粒子及其在半导体中的流动。这一研究成果将有助于设计基于混合轻质量子流体的低能器件和新的量子技术。

Quantum fluids of light and electronic matter provide a practical route towards technological applications of collective quantum effects that were previously only possible at extreme conditions. However, progress in harnessing these effects, such as the flow of synchronised particles without resistance, is hindered by the weak interaction of the hybrid light-matter particles with electromagnetic fields. This project aims to engineer artificial fields that can easily control these hybrid particles and their flow in semiconductors at ambient conditions. The outcome of this research will benefit the design of low-energy devices and new quantum technologies based on hybrid light-matter quantum fluids.
