Résumé

We demonstrate scalable ultra-strong light–matter coupling with intersubband polaritons in a truly harmonic confining potential. The harmonicity grants immunity from electron–electron interactions, a protection guaranteed by the Kohn theorem, allowing the intersubband transition frequency to be lowered while keeping the light–matter interaction strength constant. In principle, this procedure permits increasing the relative coupling strength (η = ΩRabi/ω12) at will. We measure a record low intersubband transition at 1.24 THz and a lower polaritonic mode at 920 GHz, below the barrier of 1 THz. The system exhibits a η ratio of 0.24, fully in the ultra-strong coupling regime, and remains stable up to 78 K. This approach is valuable for future non-adiabatic quantum electrodynamic experiments at long wavelengths.
