Quantum optics has been traditionally studied in the visible and near-infrared frequency regions. More recently, it was also shown that microwave superconducting circuits have also been a very interesting testbeds for fundamental quantum optics studies. In this talk, I will discuss some of our recent advances in studying quantum optics in the terahertz. In particular, it is a very interesting frequency region to study the physics of the ultra-strong light matter coupling regime. In particular, we are interested in the coupling between metamaterials and excitations of two-dimensional electron gases as well as measurements of field correlations by electro-optic sampling.
