This book reviews progress towards quantum simulators based on
photonic and hybrid light-matter systems, covering theoretical
proposals and recent experimental work. Quantum simulators are
specially designed quantum computers. Their main aim is to simulate
and understand complex and inaccessible quantum many-body phenomena
found or predicted in condensed matter physics, materials science
and exotic quantum field theories. Applications will include the
engineering of smart materials, robust optical or electronic
circuits, deciphering quantum chemistry and even the design of
drugs. Technological developments in the fields of interfacing
light and matter, especially in many-body quantum optics, have
motivated recent proposals for quantum simulators based on strongly
correlated photons and polaritons generated in hybrid light-matter
systems. The latter have complementary strengths to cold atom and
ion based simulators and they can probe for example out of
equilibrium phenomena in a natural driven-dissipative setting. This
book covers some of the most important works in this area reviewing
the proposal for Mott transitions and Luttinger liquid physics with
light, to simulating interacting relativistic theories, topological
insulators and gauge field physics. The stage of the field now is
at a point where on top of the numerous theory proposals;
experiments are also reported. Connecting to the theory proposals
presented in the chapters, the main experimental quantum technology
platforms developed from groups worldwide to realize photonic and
polaritonic simulators in the laboratory are also discussed. These
include coupled microwave resonator arrays in superconducting
circuits, semiconductor based polariton systems, and integrated
quantum photonic chips. This is the first book dedicated to
photonic approaches to quantum simulation, reviewing the
fundamentals for the researcher new to the field, and providing a
complete reference for the graduate student starting or already
undergoing PhD studies in this area.
