Majorana Bound States in Short Kitaev Chains Coupled to Photons

Explore quantum many-body states of matter in solid-state systems through this 39-minute conference talk delivered by Olesia Dmytruk from CNRS, IP Paris at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. Delve into the fascinating world of Majorana bound states in short Kitaev chains and their interaction with photons. Learn about recent developments in controlling quantum states using classical laser pulses, and understand how time-resolved experiments have advanced our ability to induce and enhance various correlated electron states, including superconducting, magnetic, and topological phases. Gain insights into the intersection of quantum optics and solid-state physics, exploring new directions in the preparation, manipulation, and investigation of correlated electron phases through quantum optical techniques and strong cavity fields.
