Generation of Photon Pairs in the Light-Matter Ultrastrong Coupling Regime: From Casimir Radiation to Stimulated Raman Adiabatic Passage

The ultrastrong coupling regime of light-matter interaction is achieved when the coupling strength is a significant fraction of the natural frequencies of the noninteracting parts. Physics in this regime has recently attracted great interest, both theoretically and experimentally being a fruitful pl...
