(Almost) Everything is a Dicke model — •Andreas Schellenberger and Kai Phillip Schmidt — FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, Erlangen, Deutschland

We investigate classes of interacting quantum spin systems in a single-mode cavity with a Dicke coupling, as a paradigmatic example of correlated light-matter systems. Coming from the limit of weak light-matter couplings and large system sizes, we map the relevant low-energy sector of these models onto the exactly solvable Dicke model.

We apply the outcomes to the Dicke-Ising model as a paradigmatic example [1,2], in agreement with results obtained by mean-field theory [2]. We further accompany and verify our findings with finite-size calculations, using exact diagonalization and the series expansion method pcst++ [3].
