Relativistic regimes of light-matter interactions
Advances in precision and relevant scales of experimental setups of light-matter interactions necessitate to improve the understanding of relativistic effects in the fruitful field of quantum optics. I present results obtained in quantum randomness generation, cavity quantum electrodynamics, and in the transformation properties of the interaction Hamiltonian that show the subtle but important effects if relativity is taken into account. In particular, the role of common approximations - like dimensional reduction, the single-mode or rotating-wave approximation - will be discussed.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
