We study the nonlinear dynamics of coherent radiation-matter systems, in particular “artificial” solid-state systems (superconductors, semiconductors, impurities). Physics explores quantum optics in the solid state, where it shows totally new aspects related to the different energy scales, the non-perturbative nature of the interactions and the possibility of controlling their design. These physical systems constitute the elective hardware for quantum information.
