Emergent many-body phenomena in engineered quantum optical systems

近年来，科学家们实现了对光与物质相互作用的前所未有的控制。工程系统中的单粒子动力学现在已经很好地理解了，但是当按比例放大时，多体行为仍然未被探索。这个项目将大大推进我们对许多粒子之间工程相互作用产生的新量子现象的理解。这些现象是定性的新行为，不能解释为单粒子行为的延伸。主要目的是解开这些系统的量子动力学。该项目预计将有助于生产新的量子技术，如量子光源和探测器以及新的原子钟。

In recent years, scientists have realised unprecedented control over light-matter interaction. Single particle dynamics in engineered systems are now well understood, but when scaled up, the many-body behaviour remains unexplored. This project will significantly advance our understanding of new emergent quantum phenomena arising from engineered interactions between many particles. These phenomena are qualitatively new behaviour that cannot be explained as an extension of single-particle behaviour. The chief aim is to unravel the quantum dynamics of these systems. The project is expected to assist in producing new quantum technologies such as sources and detectors of quantum light and new atomic clocks.
