We realize a photonic analog simulator of the quantum Rabi model, based on light transport in femtosecond-laser-written waveguide superlattices, which provides an experimentally accessible test bed to explore the physics of light-matter interaction in the deep strong coupling regime. Our optical setting enables us to visualize dynamical regimes not yet accessible in cavity or circuit quantum electrodynamics, such as the bouncing of photon number wave packets in parity chains of Hilbert space.
我们实现了基于飞秒激光写入波导超晶格中光传输的量子拉比模型的光子模拟，为探索光物质相互作用在深强耦合区的物理特性提供了一个可实验验证的平台。我们的光学设置使我们能够可视化腔或电路量子电动力学中尚未实现的动力学状态，如在希尔伯特空间的奇偶链中光子数波包的反弹。
