Save Big on Coursera Plus. 7,000+ courses at $160 off. Limited Time Only! Grab it Watch a 51-minute conference talk from the New Perspectives in Many-body Physics with Quantum Optical Systems conference, where Dan Stamper-Kurn from UC Berkeley explores symmetry breaking in optically driven mesoscopic atom arrays. Delivered at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP) in Santa Barbara, the presentation contributes to a broader discussion on quantum interactions between atoms and light, focusing on emerging experimental platforms including dense atomic media, nanophotonic interfaces, and quantum electrodynamical circuits. Learn about the unique complexities introduced by engineered light dispersion, reduced system dimensionality, and non-perturbative multiple light scattering in modern atom-light interfaces. Part of a conference bringing together diverse researchers to exchange cutting-edge developments and identify future challenges in quantum optical systems, including perspectives from related fields such as Rydberg atom arrays, ultracold molecules, and superconducting qubits for quantum computing.
