报告摘要: Quantum states of the light, e.g., single photons, entanglement and squeezing, opens up a new avenue for quantum electrodynamics (QED) by utilizing the parameters of quantum optical fields as novel control knobs and through the variation of photon statistics. With the advance of cavity QED and light source technology, imaging and controlling the electron and vibrational motions of molecules can be achieved, towards unprecedented resolution and precision, not accessible by the classical light pulses. Two key issues emerge in nanoscale: quantum states of photons and strong matter-light interaction. The underlying physics is still an open issue for molecules and spectroscopy. In this talk, I will present an overview of our recent work on multidimensional control and probes of ultrafast dynamics of molecular polaritons, as well as statistical mechanics of phonon condensation far from equilibrium. Several schemes will be discussed: photon-coincidence counting, multidimensional coherent probe, and Raman spectra with quantum fields. Microscopic models for molecular polaritons using reduced density matrix and Heisenberg-Langevin approach will be incorporated for a deeper and unified understanding.
