Controlling Quantum Matter with Light

This lecture by the instructor covers the topic of controlling quantum matter with light, focusing on photon-matter coupling strength, single atoms, superconducting circuits, semiconductor nano-structures, and inter-particle interactions. The presentation also delves into advances in physics related to strongly-correlated materials and theoretical frameworks by various researchers. Experimental setups integrating with electromagnets and exploring strong light-matter coupling are discussed, along with fermion pair polaritons and probing pair wave functions. The lecture concludes with insights on universal scaling and contact theory in the context of quantum matter manipulation.
