Abstract: With the scaling of quantum technologies to many separate material quantum components, we may have to couple these systems by propagating quantum radiation, in the form of light, microwaves or phonons. There are, however, rather fundamental obstacles to the treatment of propagation of quantum radiation and its interaction with matter. These obstacles include the general multimode character of propagating fields and the duration and spatial extent of useful light and microwave pulses. The talk will review a recent theoretical approach to deal theoretically with these obstacles, and it will present examples of new, unforeseen, possibilities for easy preparation and manipulation “on the fly” of quantum states of light and matter.
