The workshop will take place in Cargèse (Corsica, France), from May 26 to May 30 2025 (Arrival on May 25 and departure on May 31).

This workshop aims at bringing together the communities of strongly correlated quantum gases, quantum fluids of light, and quantum optics to foster the exchange of ideas and collaborations. While ultracold gases have provided a robust framework for studying strongly interacting physics, quantum fluids of light offer a complementary, flexible, and highly detectable platform. In particular, the convergence of these fields could pave the way for novel experimental platforms to investigate phenomena such as transitions to strongly correlated phases, topological effects, and out-of-equilibrium states. 

The specific goals of the workshop include:

• Identifying experimental mechanisms necessary to access strongly correlated regimes with photons.
• Sharing theoretical and numerical techniques to model these systems.
• Exploring potential synergies between ultracold gases and quantum fluids of light, especially for designing hybrid quantum simulators.
• Initiating interdisciplinary collaborations between experimentalists and theorists to overcome technical and conceptual challenges. 

The workshop will feature keynote lectures, specialized presentations, a poster session, and a dedicated discussion session to design platforms for exploring strongly correlated photon regimes. This event provides a unique opportunity to lay the groundwork for a new generation of experiments at the interface of light and matter.
