The Bose-Hubbard Model with Polaritons — •Michael Hartmann1,2, Fernando Brandao1,2, and Martin Plenio1,2 — 1Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Imperial College London, 53 Exhibition Road, London, SW7 2PG, United Kingdom — 2QOLS, The Blackett Laboratory, Imperial College London, Prince Consort Road, London, SW7 2BW, United Kingdom
Artificial structures that can be well controlled and manipulated in the laboratory have become an important tool for the study of quantum many-particle systems.
Here we show that the Bose-Hubbard model can be generated with polaritons in arrays of coupled cavities. In particular, the scheme allows to generate a two component model in a parameter range which is not accessible with alternative approaches.
Most importantly, our scheme allows for single-site addressing.
